Intersection Repair

Can you imagine that an intersection could be a community plaza? The annual Village Building Convergence event organized by City Repair proves that this is indeed possible. During these events, hundreds of people come together to take back their streets via a process labelled as Intersection Repair.

Intersection Repair 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 neighbours further enhance the community intersection by adding amenities like benches, bulletin boards or gardens. This video by StreetFilms has already inspired other communities to follow suit. 

Are intersections in your neighbourhood in need of a community makeover?

After Cara Priem saw the Intersection Repair video she was so inspired that she wanted to do the same in her Boulder neighborhood. What happened then you can see below:
