The overview The project includes the design of new roadway with on-street parking, sidewalk, barrier-free ramps, a 12-inch water line, landscaping and irrigation, street lighting and drainage improvements. The new park called Mendomi Park will be part of a mixed-use development planned at the former JCPenney headquarters.
