We finally released the final evaluation of the Hope Street Temporary Trail! It was such a labor of love and an honor to be part of a truly community-centered public space project. Many thanks to all our sponsors and the residents and businesses who took time to visit the trail and leave feedback! 🚲🛴🚎🚗

I'm happy to answer any questions about the results or process, and please check out the full report and video at https://pvdstreets.org/hope/

One of my favorite parts of the Punto Urban Art Museum is their opportunities for local artists to shape what their public spaces look like. This summer, they launched 30 new murals based on the themes in A Dream Called Home, a book by Reyna Grande. On Sunday, September 24, 2023, the author will be in town to talk about her book. See the comments for a link to register for this free event!

We’re out here in the rain installing the bus platforms so that everyone can board the bus safely across the trail, including people in wheelchairs. 👩‍🦽
