People Streets
Overview
People Streets encourage walkable communities and corridor identity through temporary placemaking improvements along the street while maintaining vehicular traffic. Through sidewalk activations, creative crosswalks and intersection stamps, communities can create a sense of place along corridors that highlight their communities.
