Rochester native landscape architect Pares visited Topeka with a study for improving the state capitol grounds. He envisions a simple lawn, tall trees, and no ornate reliefs, saving existing trees where possible. He suggests removing the Urice and Price buildings and a fountain, while creating a scalable park around the library and riverfront drives.
