Just saw this inspiring video this morning and thought I'd share it on our blog.
This relates to what we are doing....trying to create a close-knit safe village by turning space into place!
and...I really like the idea of painting our intersection to create a community space...and to slow cars down.
Inspiring.
After our Parking Lot improvements and Mural is complete, maybe we can turn some neighborhood intersections into unique places.
'Our Happy Block' is a grassroots SE Portland Neighborhood Coalition formed to improve livability through volunteer projects and sustainable community design. We live and work in the vicinity of SE 80th-82nd Avenue and SE Woodstock Blvd/SE Martins Street in Portland, Oregon....where the heart-bomb mural is located.
