The registration deadline for a contest Transportation Alternatives is running that involves submitting ideas for a re-imagining of 9th Street and 4th Avenue has been extended until the end of this month. According to TA, “The competition is open to the entire public: we hope that community members without any design training as well as design professionals and students will submit their ideas for street design improvements at this intersection. In rethinking the way city streets work, the competition will explore ways to make our city more environmentally sustainable and reestablish the importance of the street as a tool to promote positive social and economic interactions.” There will be an exhibit of the winner’s proposal at the end of the year.
