77 Implementation: The Public Works department will budget funds to have all improvements completed within three years. Strategy 3.4.3: Land owners in the area will be encouraged to add external lighting to their buildings. Strategy 3.4.4: Fences will be added along the north and south train tracts, with the fences placed along the side closest to Downtown. Fences will be no taller than 4 ft. The construction material should be metal. Implementation: The Public Works department will work with the local property owners to educate and provide assistance for lighting and fence guidelines. As the northern rail line abuts the Suffolk Center and Visitor Center properties and as these areas will potentially have more children in the area, it is imperative that the northern fence be constructed by the time the center opens. The Suffolk Center and the Public Works department will work with the rail line owner within the next year to construct the northern fence.

The Department of Public Works will upgrade the parcel adding a hard surface, lighting, and shade from plantings. Completion of the project will be within 4 years. Strategy 3.5.2 New landscaping requirements in the Urban Design Overlay District will create opportunities for creative and unique public spaces. With the addition of trees, plantings, screens, and benches, new places that provide a small natural park atmosphere will be created. Implementation: These elements will be an ongoing process, but will begin after the adoption of the Urban Design Overlay District. The first parking lots and public spaces being completed within two years by the City and other property owners.
