Think About
Have you ever been on a street that you really enjoyed? What did you like about it?
Have you ever walked down a street you did NOT enjoy? What was that like?
What does your space need? Where on the block should it go?
What good things did you see and think are important to keep as a part of the neighborhood?
What problems did you identify on your walk? What would have to do to fix those problems?
