Drainage 



The work on fhe upper surface and southerly 

 slope of Lookout Hill to the lake line extend 

 ing from the west drive near Gate 5 to the tern 

 porary bridge or new bridge site is generally 

 incomplete. The existing excavation between 

 the hill and the lake originally supplied gravel 

 for the construction of the park drives along 

 the Coney Island road and Franklin avenu 

 sides and served economical purpose. The 

 filling and grading of this area in addition to 

 working over the whole -area of 17 acres, yet 

 unfinished, including drainage, but exclusive 

 of the walks and planking, will cost about.. . 



3,500 lineal feet walk, or 42,000 square feet su 

 perficial concrete at 16 cents, walks 12 feet 

 wide 



Planting 



The next important unfinished area is the Willink 

 entrance neighborhood on the east side of the 

 park between the drive and Ocean avenue and 

 extending from the Willink entrance proper 

 to the Irving statue, and covering in all about 

 seven acres. For the grading and surface 

 treatment it is estimated it will cost 



1,800 lineal feet of walk, equal -to 21,600 square 

 feet superficial, at 16 cents 



Stkuctubes. 



There is contemplated in conjunction with some 

 of these unfinished areas and otherwise several 

 structures and erections of more or less impor- 

 tance to the design. These are enumerated as 

 follows, in the supposed order of their impor- 

 tance from the standpoint of the present. 



Fikst — The large bridge over the middle channel 

 of the lake at a site' already established near 

 the present temporary bridge. The water 

 walls in new foundations are already con- 

 structed. The span is 70 feet, and of height 

 sufficient to connect the present drives on an 

 easy grade. The bridge will cover the water 

 way and two lines of walk. Three designs are 

 suggested and roughly estimated as follows : 

 The plan approved by committee, stone and 

 iron 



Next — Small foot bridge over the drive near 

 entrance No . 5, connecting the walk system on 

 the line of Fifteenth street with those on Look- 

 out Hill — this would consist of a light iron 

 structure, either a truss or suspension bridge
