"Michael Can Valkenburgh Associates, the design consultants for the vista, summarize their ideas by saying they want to 'strengthen the edges and simplify the center' of the vista landscape. In other words, the grand scael of the vista and the connection to Mount Rainier should be reflected in the selection of of paving materials and the composition of the plantings. Currently, they say, the vista 'reads' as five distinct areas separated by cross paths and roads. Reinforcing the edges with adequate buffer plantings to enhance the perspective and providing continuous pathways comprised of one paving material will allow the vista to read as a single gesture rather than the disparate parts it is today."
