Azure Park
05/18/15
As much as I would have liked to place cactus in, I realize that this isn't a park that would be good to have cactus in it. So, actually had to look up plants since I was not too familiar with what types are okay to use. One of them I am going with and I'd love to include is Mexican Feather Grass. I feel it would add a nicer touch as a shrub/decoration to the park! It also wouldn't be harmful compared to other plants (like cactus) to kids if they fall over it or on it. It gives off a soft and overall gentle look, so I feel it may make the park seem a bit more peaceful, relaxing and well, soothing possibly. Somewhere you wouldn't mind taking a break, which is my main interest in the project really.

Bicycle Cities
Biking is a popular -& green!- way to travel. Yet if there is nowhere to lock up your bike, people may be discouraged to use their bike to get around. Did you know that you can Request a new bike rack in your area? Cities all over the U.S. have multiple types of bike racks they can install and all you have to do is submit a request. Where would you like to encourage people to use bikes instead of cars? CLICK HERE to learn about bicycling in Chicago.
