has been under development for three years. Construction will end this July if weather permits. There are 3.5
miles of trail in the project. Project artist Mario Miguel Echevarria presents his concept for the site. He will be
using, steel, concrete, tile, and lighting elements. The theme is meant to convey positive values. Community
involvement will be in the form of tile -work on columns that support the window frame structures and signs —
reflective of local neighborhood values. There will be three window columns total, each with steel silhouette
figure(s) framed in a window. One figure represents Agnes Mason. Mosaic tiles will also be added to some of the
figures. L.E.D. lights will surround the frame of each window. Other signage elements promote good trail
etiquette, a `positive push,' and convey positive energy. These four signs are double sided. Beaty, Lopez, and
McGraw Elementary school students will be included for community involvement. Layout of poles is based on
the Golden section system of proportion. Ms. Liska-Smith asks, will there be interpretive signage on Agnes
