So the bench detail along the Osborne sidewalk on the east side in the drawing Biff posted above is being constructed with rock gabions. I'm shocked the city approved this design. I give it until about February before a snow plow destroys one of these and it takes years to be fixed.

I'm pretty sure the only reason the city is installing a "park" (set of riprap gabions) here is because that white building was illegally using it as a parking lot.
