Tis act, coupled with existing angle parking along the tracks, means that only about ve eet would remain or green space once the track project is completed. (Almost all existing landscaping here is on railroad property and will be removed.) Te current wooden retaining wall or the angled parking area in this area is also deteriorating. A new low landscape wall is planned in the additional ten eet o green space created here by making Ravenswood one-way southbound. Te area south o Wilson presents a diferent picture. Tis section o green space is currently the widest in the overall project. Te street is also an historic artiact, being the only remaining stretch o Ravenswood still in paving bricks. Here a continuous low landscape “green ” wall will be installed, with an additional ve eet o green space created by making Ravenswood one-way southbound. Te brick street will be preserved as well. New landscaping will be planted due to signicant changes in slopes and grades to meet the railroad elevation.
