“So to clarify, the existing concrete wall that was six feet in height is now three feet in height. Yes, by the increased height.

“They look cool, but... Is there a way to install a planter or something of that nature, more landscape-oriented or artistic on top of that wall that's not as heavy as those concrete blocks? That's a good idea. That's been evaluated or explored?”

“I'm going through there. And there's some things from a wire mesh landscape screening perspective that you could have some ivy or something grow. And there's a lot of character at Tufts, right? I think there's a lot of unique opportunities to celebrate that character with a creative solution here that's not just letting plants overgrow, but also you know, maybe a little bit more in line with the city's ultimate vision here that may serve an intent for both parties here that I think could serve the character of Tufts better.”
