W...Bump outs and concrete blockages are a negative. We added them on Selby and its been non-stop problems. Traffic sometimes zigs around the neighborhood just to get past something. Bricks in the street are maintence nightmare, skip that. <BR/><BR/>Trees are the best long term investment, however the soil has to be treated and cared for because basically the soil under concrete is dead. Trees need living soil.<BR/><BR/>Painting on the street, on sides of buildings, anywhere is great. Just use good paint that does degrade and become an environmental hazard. More outdoor cafes would be nice. Taking an open space and making into a weekend street garage sale would bring more traffic. Have rules so it is pretty. Be close to a coffee and sandwich shop. Have a music stage where between noon and four, anyone can showcase talent for a half hour. <BR/><BR/>Grace KellyGrace Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830084170240489880noreply@blogger.com
