SEWARD PARK WITHOUT BORDERS / STRAUS SQUARE

It is anticipated that construction will begin soon. Protective fencing has been installed around the first area to be addressed: Library Plaza, and the various plots of land adjacent to it, including the garden. If you peek in, you’ll notice that all of the interior fences have been removed.

In Straus Square potted Plants have been placed to serve as traffic barriers. Seating and more planters have been added. Neighbors seem to be enjoying this amenity.
