Subject: Wall Types
DiWanna: I did a pretty extensive search on retaining walls the past couple of days. Most of everything is
segmented block styles. I did find something on the style that Larry was talking about, I have included the site
with this email. Also, at the intersection of MacArthur and Deforest we might be stuck with having to do
something that is vertical do to space issues. Once we get away from that area we could split the wall to look like
it is terraced. I also found something on the sloped concrete walls but, I don't thinkwe can use them at
MacArthur and Deforest. I have included a site that shows what I'm talking about with the patterned concrete
slope paving. I will keep looking for better pics on the slope paving.
