Re: ADCD Ideas for NOW
Hi Justin,
In addition to my last list, here are some additional thoughts:
1) Change traffic-stopping obstacles to plain concrete ones like on Lincoln Road at Alton which
could be painted (by artists ideally, ADCD logo, colors, etc.) I realize what is there is temporary
but could be less crime-scene looking.. Add QR Code for parking, other info?
2) Add a mural to the east-facing wall of the building just north of the Bentley at 5th street or
project videos/movies …
3) Art-activate any vacant properties with collaborations with Bass Museum, other local museums
4) Ban fake plants from outdoor restaurant areas. Fund planters and real plants with attractive
banners – the Carlyle is a great example. Team up with MB Botanical Garden?
5) Reorient traffic alongside the Betsy to go the other way so that diverted traffic can loop back to
Collins – and add signage so drivers are not confused and annoyed.
6) Replace the ugly trash/recycling containers with better ones
7) Solar-powered benches/charging stations – FREE! Solstreet.net let’s try a few! Will send more
info on this – right now can deliver in 6-8 weeks
