Creative Placemaking
There is little economic development in these neighborhoods. Menick’s is one of very few stores in the area where residents can buy food and resources. And there is no open space in the area for vendors to freely create, collaborate, and develop their economic footings in the community. This is an opportunity for businesses and artists to support one another, while also adding value to the community.
Creative PlacemakingThis park is an example of an underutilized space in the city. Spaces like these can be activated with seating, play structures, and arts and culture interventions that add value to the community. This is an opportunity for residents to engage this space in a new way, and be more encouraged to explore their community.
Creative Placemaking

Central avenue connects the capitol view neighborhood to the library, butterfly park, metro, and Benning Road commercial area but is unsafe to travel - high speeds, narrow sidewalks that are not ADA compliant.
It would be nice to have more block parties in ward 7. I would like to have showings of movies for families to come and get to know each other.
