"Armed with input from residents, the landscape design students spent last weekend drafting their plans, aiming to give residents a tool for upgrading the community, regardless of whether it moves or stays put. The design would convert the 22-acre North Avenue site into a rolling landscape of clustered homes, gardens and a community pavilion."
