TBPN(@tbpn):.@RickCarusoLA explains why he included curbs and gutters at The Grove as intentional design choices: "They're there because your eye picks it up." "If we had built The Grove as a flat plaza without curbs and gutters, you wouldn't read it in your mind as a street." "The rhythm of the trees, the rhythm of the streetlights. We study all of that stuff." "We actually had a landscape architect on The Grove who threatened to quit because he wasn't going to design curbs and gutters. He said, 'People are going to trip.' I said, 'People don't trip walking around cities. Why are they going to trip here?'" From his appearance on the show in April.
