What does a citizen-led public space and street pop-up look like?
Check it out: here’s a short video of our Cook St Re-Make project, where we worked with The City of Victoria and Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition to demonstrate a “complete street” redesign of a typical Victoria street. In this case, we moved the row of parked vehicles away from the curb (thereby narrowing the existing driving lanes), added a protected bike lane at the curb, added three temporary crosswalks, tested a 3-Way Stop where there previously was a single stop, and hosted a public gathering space on the adjacent park.
We had great fun. What do you think?
