Landscape master plan

Saucier & Flynn offer a small version of what looks like a lushly-detailed landscape master plan for Dartmouth. The Tuck Mall portion is especially notable, since it shows the initial portion of the mall (what was the entire mall during the 1910s) as a broad academic field lined by paths, and only the more distant portion with a road in the center as is the case now.
The school put a sidewalk in on the north side of the mall last month, according to an article in The Dartmouth. The article did not note whether the sidewalk is the first step in implementing the master plan’s proposal for Tuck Mall.
[Update 07.24.2007: The Planning Board minutes of June 6, 2006 (pdf) suggest that the sidewalk project is an implementation of the master plan.]
