Kid/dog facilities. <br />Garden Plots. <br />• Plaza – node – gathering space. Shakespeare in <br />the park. Concerts. Food trucks. <br />• Bark park. Dog park. <br />• Seasonal - What do we have in the winter? In the <br />rain? Play areas, ski, snowshoe, skate. <br />• Artist murals on exterior brick walls. <br />• Add basketball courts (cheap). <br />• Add skateboard parks (even cement slabs). <br />• Census tract 6 has no park. Needs a communal <br />kid-friendly common space. Community garden <br />space with individual plots for local residents. <br />• Variety of activities to encourage use at different <br />times of day. <br />• Concerts outside. Dining. <br />• Love these parks. But who maintains them? They <br />are not an asset if weedy and messy. <br />• Wildlife habitat. Fun and play in native plants. <br />• Year-round bike infrastructure. <br />• Basketball hoops. <br />• Soccer fields. <br />• Recreation areas that promote exercise & pick up <br />games must be well-lighted & free of geese/poop. <br />• Kids outside recess in the cold.

Keep things <br />fresh. <br />• Great <br />• Food Trucks! <br />• Love! <br />• Open air markets outside restaurant. Music venue. <br />• Food truck pods. <br />• Covered area for urban farmer’s market venders! It <br />is a lot of work to set up tents. <br />• Yes? Opportunity to support new small business <br />and create vibrancy/gathering place e.g. urban <br />garden farmers market flexible. <br />• It’s cold here in winter.

Local <br />Foods. <br />• Yes! <br />Tell Us What You Think: Tactical Urbanism Ideas <br />Take a sticky note and tell us your thoughts on this <br />topic. <br />• Chalk wall or murals. <br />• Let artists paint murals on empty buildings. <br />• U-cut Christmas tree micro-farms on vacant lots. <br />• No-mow native/natural landscaping on vacant <br />lots, esp. as example to showcase the option as an <br />alternative to current ‘mow’ codes. <br />• Organize painting walls by n’hood kids – let them <br />design and paint w/little to no supervision – chalk <br />wall – change murals every 3-5 years. <br />• Permanent location for Urban Garden Farmers <br />Market. Include pics of Urban Garden Farmers <br />Market so people know it is across from NNN! <br />during the summer! <br />Public Space Types <br />Pocket Park <br />• Terrific! But who maintains them? The one pic- <br />tured (pocket park at Lafayette & LaMonte Terrace) <br />is kept-up by the hospital. That’s why it’s nice. <br />Playground <br />• Artistic design. MUCH better. I’ve seen articles that <br />kids are more creative in an abstract playground <br />environment. (Referring to top right playground <br />picture.) <br />• PLEASE not this kind of playground. Reminds me <br />of McDonalds. (Referring to left playground pic- <br />ture.) <br />Trail <br />• More trail nature. <br />• Neighborhood natural habitat. Natural play struc- <br />ture. Bird feeders. Trail with natural benches.
