The Plaza redesign is the result of a visionary effort by The Friends of Lytton Plaza and the City of Palo Alto to create a vibrant public space in the center of the Palo Alto Business District. TGP is the lead consultant in transforming the plaza into a space which invites individuals and groups to gather and enjoy the public life in downtown.

The design includes a new feature fountain at the gateway on University Avenue, new paving, seating areas, enhanced lighting, and many sustainable design features.

The plaza design includes use of permeable pavers and subsurface drainage systems to improve storm water treatment for the site.
