exit); that lockers could be added later (designed for sixteen feet); the method
of bagging and checking for the public; that walls would be treated for graffiti
problems; recessing of lighting and telephone fixtures; whether the location to
Brookshire Avenue would attract trash; ample security lighting; height of raised
