Steps to follow:
1. Execute an intensive community outreach campaign to the neighborhood
2. Prepare site and fence off St. Andrews Plaza Mid-March
3. Begin installing floor mosaic
4. Install new 25' sculpture.
We estimate this project will take about 5 months to complete.

What's going on at the park on San Pablo and 32nd Street?
-This little park is called St. Andrews Plaza.
-You might have noticed that some of the sick Eucalyptus trees have finally been removed and are no longer a fire hazard
-All,
This is an update on St. Andrews Plaza and tasks agreed upon.
-The locust trees that obstruct visibility and invite illegal activity will be removed at a later date.
-All of the seating in the park will be removed by Public Works. This seating has been a major issue since it is used to hide behind and carry out illegal activity.
-All planters will be removed and the water will be capped at the valves. This will make it easy for the demo crew to remove the broken down floor surface.
-All food distribution will be coordinated with St. Mary's Center and no longer be allowed at the park. The park has no bathroom facilities, thus serving food results in defecation throughout the neighborhood. There are 4 other places along San Pablo Avenue within a 4 block radius where food can be had for free, where there are bathroom facilities.
-Our Beautification plans have been put on hold until all of the work has been completed at the site. See plans in our timeline.
