Large Toolkit

restructured. semi-permanent. transformative.

The large toolkit builds upon the medium toolkit to create more defined outdoor spaces and re-purposing of more opportunity areas. This toolkit takes the perpendicular side streets from the previous toolkit that were temporarily shutdown and closes them off permanently. It also extends the street closure to create eddies for food trucks or other mobile ventures to stop and serve pedestrians. Most noticeably is the closure of an entire block length of angled street parking for an elevated outdoor seating area. By making this seating permanent, pedestrians can always rely upon it for their outdoor eating or impromptu meeting needs. What is also added in this toolkit is a bike lane, new seating opportunities in vacant space between buildings, and outdoor tabletop sports on the grass lawn. Additionally, this toolkit recommends repairs to damaged building facades and solutions for breaking up long building facades, both of which improve the overall aesthetic of the main street or downtown.

Cost: $150,000 - $250,000 Per Street Block (Estimate, does not include labor)

Assembly Time: Within Two Months
