About this talk

arts + culture + entertainment : connect the dots

- Redefine urban trails as linear parks.

- Redefine parking structures as art installations.

- Redefine Third Street downtown with bold, human-centric revisions.

Community Impact:

- Trails: infusion of opportunities for artists; relatively inexpensive creation of gathering places.

- Parking structures: relatively inexpensive way to change the landscape and skyline.

- Third Street: embrace it as the main street of our vibrant urban hometown and the shift in how this community views itself and its shared experiences will be transformational. Compared to budgets of the projects that dot the map on or near the street, the cost of such a transformation would be relatively small. Because it would better connect many of those projects, the impact would be extraordinary.

  1. Love the idea of the old train depot on the “skin” of the parkade.
