Want to Help? Pick up a How-to Guide

Pick up a How-To Guide at Glass House Collective’s headquarters on Glass Street! The How-To Guide includes in-depth detail to help accomplish the tasks listed below as well as a sketched map of the projected places involved in the redesign in and around the Glass Street commercial corridor. The guide has already been passed out to 200 people. That’s 400 hands and counting to help bring Glass Street back to life!

Build Tree Planters: Help beautify Glass Street, slow down traffic and provide a sense of enclosure

Create Community Banners: Celebrate the district and promote the community’s identity

Create A Community Space: Provide a gathering place for the community and connect neighbors

Install Public Art: Make a local landmark and create a visual experience

Paint A Mural: Showcase creativity and beautify a building

Create Pedestrian Crossings: Slow traffic in district, improve pedestrian safety and encourage feet on the streets

Build A Pop Up Shop: Attract local businesses, activate empty storefronts and bring people to the street

Create A Community Event: Bring neighbors together and strengthen the neighborhood

The contents of the How-To Guide will culminate at Glass House Collective’s Better Block event on February 23, 2012. The event will be a celebration of the collaboration between Glass Street residents, Glass House Collective and YOU!

We need you. If you see something within the How-To Guide that you want to champion, please get in touch with us at info@glasshousecollective.org.
