Conceived by Landscape Architect Lawrence Halprin, the master plan, to be executed with some $15 million in public and private contributions, would turn the city's labyrinthine back alleys into pedestrian greenways or community plazas, vacant lots into vest-pocket parks, and dreary asphalt into brick or patterned pavement.

"My husband is English, you see. He's terribly conservative. He wears pajamas with a vest. I give him a hug and a kiss and he says, 'Not here, not here.' Yesterday I started to give him a hug and a kiss and he said, 'Not here, not here,' and I started to cry because we were...
