They're sprucing up Lisa Link Peace Park.
Tom Link, son of Lisa Link, served as a planning committee member on the project for 2.5 years.
?My mother would?ve been comfortable with the type of people that use the park, but a lot of people can?t deal with homelessness and poverty,? Link said.Do you think a multilingual pole will turn things around?
How about an ATM machine? That's also part of the plan:
[T]he panhandling ordinance of the city states that panhandling is not permitted within 50 feet of an ATM machine, a common activity performed by the park dwellers.

IN THE COMMENTS: Chip Ahoy asked:
What four languages?Hieroglyphic, demotic, Greek, and Algic?
Sofa King said:
What four languages?Latin, Elvish, Klingon, and C++
