IMAGINE -
-
a city where everyone lives within a 5-10 minute walk of 2 parks without driving or crossing a boulevard
-
and imagine transforming unnecessary streets into vibrant creative parks bringing children and families together - streets that knit us together instead of separating us
-
it's about belonging, friendship, health, creativity and social interaction
-
it's about health and lack of recreation
-
about creating a sense of community
-
it's about the success of our kids and the future of our city
