Wednesday, June 16 » Hastings Way Reconstruction Workshop
The Hastings Way reconstruction project could very well be one of the most important issues facing the Eastside Hill in years. This is our chance to fix that giant concrete river bordering the neighborhood, dividing us from the businesses on the other side, creating an intimidating and dangerous rift, unfriendly to pedestrian and bike traffic. This is our chance to remake it into something we’re proud of.
The next meeting on the project is an important one and might be your only chance for input!
Wednesday, June 16, 4-6:30PM
Regis High School
2100 Fenwick Avenue
in the cafeteria
It’s a workshop to sit down and really go over ideas and concepts for the Hastings Way reconstruction project, sketching things out and providing valuable input. Participants will be in groups at tables and can envision whatever they’d like to see for the street together, then show those ideas to the rest of the group. It should be very creative, fun, and interesting. And, hey, light snacks and refreshments will be on hand.
The workshop will be facilitated by SEH Inc. – the company that has been chosen to handle the project. You can download a general invitation for the meeting here and a great Frequently Asked Questions sheet here.
This is seriously one of the last chances to offer input. If you’d like some inspiration for what’s possible with a strip of road like Hastings Way, Volume One Magazine has some great articles and mock-ups here and here. You can find a Facebook event page here.
