Reminder! Upcoming State Street Community Design Workshops

Help Design State Street!

On Friday, December 9th and Saturday, December 10th, the City will host workshops at 821 State Street (between Canon Perdido and De La Guerra Streets) for members of the community to help create design concepts for the project area.

Attendees will be grouped into small teams to design two or three blocks on State Street using a map of the street and game pieces that reflect potential transportation options and activities that could be included in the long-term design for State Street. Each team's design poster will be hung at the location. Each workshop will also include a brief project update and time to view other teams' designs.

All events will include the same activities and be in English and Spanish. No professional design experience is required to participate in any of these events, and all community members are welcome. Childcare will be provided, and a pop-up art show focused on creativity and innovation, in collaboration with The Arts Fund, will take place during the design events.

Also, if you have not already taken the survey, please do so before attending a community design workshop. We hope to see you on December 9th or 10th!
