<br />into an innovative educational and recreational space with various new amenities
<br />catered to serve the surrounding community. This project features a Santa Ana-themed
<br />"satellite library" book kiosk and custom lockable shelter, a children's trike play track to
<br />encourage awareness of street and traffic safety, new pedestrian concrete pathways, a
<br />"story walk" with library themed signage to help residents learn about water
<br />conservation, and new multigenerational playground equipment. The scope of work
<br />includes excavation, grading, installation of the library kiosk, playground equipment,
<br />concrete sidewalks, concrete accessible curb ramps, resurfacing an existing parking lot,
<br />drought -tolerant landscaping, irrigation, overall site lighting, security camera, and

<br />disproportionately impacted children and families.
