Lincoln Street Green Strip

There was a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Lincoln Street Green Strip (which I wrote about previously) today.

Here's some photos I took of it last week.

In my mind, the noteworthy aspects include that it:

  • Is a significant improvement

  • Reflects community input

  • Came in in budget (apparently)

  • Is designed to be low maintenance (mostly volunteer, if I understand correctly).



I think the latter is especially important during the inevitable times of stress on the city's budget (like now).
Here's the artists' description
