Scope of Work
The Peace Plaza Vision Plan is a strategy for the future of Japantown’s central public space. An extensive community-engagement and concept phase resulted in a strongly support design framework that is informing future design and construction. The renovated plaza is planned to have new waterproofing, paving, planting and seating, as well as a new central “water mirror”.
Expansion Joints: A near-term improvement for the plaza is the replace of the expansion joints where the plaza borders the mall on either side. This work will provide protection from water intrusion and will remain even when the full plaza renovation takes place.
Funding
This $25 million dollar project is funded by the 2020 Bond. The concept design portion of the project was funded through the City’s General Fund, in the amount of $375 thousand.
Expansion Joint: This work is funded half by Rec-Park and half by MTA, funding amount is approximately $350,000, completed early 2021.
