Over the years they have made many improvements to this landscape and continue to maintain it. Te narrowing o Ravenswood to a one-way street will make trac ow riendlier and increase the amount o green space available or community landscaping. Te new green space will also appear as a larger and more continuous parkway due to the landscape improvements planned between Winona and Foster. Te need or a continuous high retaining wall will be avoided through use o lower, plantable landscape walls to handle the soil slopes, producing a tiered, garden-like efect. Te tiered walls will also allow or the preservation o some o the larger existing trees. Tis plan also includes converting the head-in parking just north o Winnemac to parallel parking to urther increase the amount o community green space.
