LOCATION

The Union Square Better Block

Saturday May 31, 2014 from 4 PM to 7 PM

 

Union Square Champions,

Have you ever wondered how to:

  • Build a parklet?
  • Build pallet furniture?
  • Make a street more bicycle and or pedestrian friendly?
  • Activate a Public Space?
  • Create wayfinding signage?
  • Gather metrics on what makes a Better Block?

Than we have the workshops for you! Sign up at http://teambetterblock.com/somerville/
to attend any of the workshops listed above. Then take all of what you
learn and help the City implement this temporary transformation of the
area on Saturday May 31, 2014 from 4 to 7 pm.

This free event will take place rain or shine!
