ACTIVATING PAPER STREETS

?
Vacant lot zoned as public land.
Collective process involving all relevant stakeholders.
Phasing: From path to garden.
Current situatuion: Littering, unsafe path, fire hazard, etc.
Possible future use: Community garden.
Activating Paper Streets! is an initiative to transform a vacant lot, zoned as public land into a community garden through a bottom-up, participatory process. An informal connection between Baltimore street and Buchanan street, the lot is a fallow land: it is used as a littering site, features an unsafe trail between the two streets, and is a potential fire hazard.
Activating Paper Streets! comprises both a design proposal and an implementation process. Before anything gets built, the project proposes to activate the lot through neighborhood events such as cleaning the lot together, enjoying coffee on weekends, organizing open air movie nights, etc. Based on these experiences the next phase will engage with political activism through a petition. Neighbors, members of the community, and the respective City Council member will collaboratively develop a design scheme and a program based on the community’s needs.
Successful implementation of Activating Paper Streets! could be the starting point for developing a framework and processes how to more easily activate, transform and make accessible paper streets empty lots to its communities across the city.
