••• More in the Architect’s Newspaper on the transformation of Bogardus Plaza into Bogardus Park: “The existing fence around the garden would be removed and the planted area expanded 20 to 30 percent in area to create a C-shaped garden around a seating area. The street bed will be raised to the existing sidewalk level and new permeable granite pavers—a nod to the historic street paving in Tribeca—will be installed. [… Landscape architect Signe] Nielsen said the existing mature tree canopy served as ‘the bones’ of the plaza’s landscape and plans will add a mix of height and color with flowering trees at each end with shrubs and flowers in between. At the north side, a clock will honor the plaza’s namesake James Bogardus and a new segment of fencing along West Broadway—for buffer and to keep people from walking through the garden—might include an homage to Bogardus’ few remaining buildings in the neighborhood. Space has been reserved at the south end of the plaza for a future  kiosk.”
