Why piazzas?

Public gathering space

Shaded seating and public plazas where neighbors can gather, rest, and connect.

Safe, quiet streets

Traffic calming and pedestrian-first design make streets safer and more pleasant.

Cultural showcasing

Public art and murals created by local artists reflect the neighborhood's identity.

Intelligent reuse

Underused tree lawns and right-of-way space become valuable public amenities.

Local economic development

More foot traffic and gathering space supports neighborhood businesses like Baker Market.

Easy accessibility

Connected, walkable design links neighborhoods like La Alma-Lincoln Park and Baker.
