Two exterior security cameras would be connected back to the community center security system. • A detached vehicle garage with room for two 15-passenger vans, storage and with two exterior 8 yard dumpster enclosures. • A new plaza area to the east of the community center and next to Linden Avenue. This is intended to be a market stall area in the future for community events. • Basic wayfinding signs. • New concrete sidewalks limited to the community center and site improvements but with several areas for displaying public art. • New planting beds, new trees, and various other landscaping enhancements. • The creation of a new storm water retention pond on the far south side of the site. • Wayfinding and Signage • Public Art
