    This could be an alleyway connecting State Street to Orange Street with small businesses lining either side. A first step would be removing or reconfiguring ending owned by the Ninth Square development.
  • 27 Temple Street New Haven, Connecticut - Town_Green
    The Kelly House bus stop has an awesome overhang and name plate, but the area inside is pretty boring and unappealing concrete. Some cool lighting and/or a mural or paneling on the back could make this feel like a destination - and maybe make taking the bus more appealing for folks coming downtown.

    This Could Be Restored Dog Park Panels

    “Artified Pups” - A muralist and pet portrait artist will work with assistants and area residents to revive a blighted city block near a dog park by rehabilitating a dilapidated series of existing large photo images. We’ll remove any loose vinyl photo material then replace/paint missing parts, colorize images and add design elements to blackout spaces between by applying the simple sensibilities of adjacent wall art. The project seeks to creatively solve a problem through a planned process that includes community participation to create a continuous application to “artify” old B&W photos, eliminating the expense of removing/replacing them.

    This Could Be a Curated Garden along The MRT

    "We would like to create an attractive community green space that will improve air and soil quality through phytoremediation. This curated garden will include an assortment of plants such as sunflowers, Indian grass, and Poplar trees that are known for their ability to absorb pollutants. The soil along the site location near the bank of the Mill River will be rearranged to allow for greater surface area for planting. "

    This Could Be a Linear Trail Park

    "We seek support to build the Mill River Trail Green Infrastructure Corridor (the Project) in Fair Haven. The Project will convert four blocks of degraded roadway and vacant land into a linear trail park through the creation of a parklet, a pervious trail system, signage, and green infrastructure practices in the public right of way. These improvements will connect Phase 1 of the Mill River Trail to the north with the newly upgraded Criscuolo Park to the south, providing connectivity between District Square, Fair Haven, and New Haven Harbor, while serving as a destination for all New Haven residents.

    This Could Be The Bridging Lanterns Project

    "If you had a wish for your community, what would it be? At Atelier Cue, we wish for improved connectivity. We wish for finding light in forgotten places. We wish for public art that evolves from a shared local story and encourages community engagement. The Bridging Lanterns project is a multi-faceted effort involving community input, a celebratory event, and a lighting installation. The result would illuminate the dark underpass at Upper State street with dozens of suspended ‘lanterns’, each carrying the wish of a local resident. "
