Subject: Comment to city council regarding the proposed civic center playground.
CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or on clicking links from unknown senders.
I think it is important for the Civic Center playground be an inspiration to young people to use the library and to promote an understanding of the workings of the city. Its el ements should not only be for physical enjoyment but also be an inspiration for long term self and city improvement.
My second point is that the civic plaza is a historical architectural landmark and it was agreed when it was given this status that this element would be part of the design criteria for additional structures. I would like to kn ow how this was
considered in the design.
Thank you
