proposed walk
The General Scheme
n general the scheme is TO construct
q depressed walk from four to four
and a half feet below the level of the
street This will be merely a continu-
ance of the walkway in the park south
of State street
A certain amount of I'LL" will be
needed to provide sufficient width for
the walk and at points where there
is not enough space to cut, earth will
be dumped over the bank. 1t is hoped
to maintain as nearly as possible an
average width of fifteen feet from the
street curb to the outer edge of the
walk. OF this space about five feet
will be allowed for spacing outside the
curb and slope to the depressed path
way. The walk will be approximately
nine feet wide and the remaining
space will be used for the edging and
slope to the sidewalk along the wall.
