This involves painting streets with a high-visiblity mural that creates a public square for residents to gather and one which gently encourages drivers to slow down when approaching these spaces. Over time the neighbors further enhance the transformation by adding amenities like benches, community bulletin boards, and introducing gardens & art. As you’ll see, the possibilites are endless.

This is the type of alternative universe that I like to imagine happening all over the place as we gently ride down the hydrocarbon peak. These are people finding ways to make themselves happy with those around them instead of driving far and wide to seek out others. It's not complicated, it's just a group of people that live near each other getting together to do something they all benefit from: Re-imagining an intersection as a community square.
