Document Summary
Is lined with concrete to speed the flow: was reshaped and widened to create a lake effect, was hidden along service alleys to disguise a potential eyesore, a and c, the portland forecourt fountain addressed safety by: Including handrails at critical points: posting warning signs, using the lips of waterfalls as safety features, a and c, scotlandville park features: Initially was placed upon the building: lately has included the site, and the location of the vegetable gardens, all the above. True: the preservation plan for magnolia mound plantation in baton rouge calls for the representation of the layers of history that are associated with the long history of the place.
