Crowdsourcing Streetlife

Decatur Metro | May 27, 2010

Here in ol’ Decatur, the secret formula has long been out about how to reconstruct life on city streets.  But in other parts of the world (i.e. Texas) it still takes a bit more visible proof to convince the old-skool powers-that-be that a few small tweaks can transform a street.

Check out how this group in Oak Cliff, TX – outside of Dallas – revived a whole darn block with just $1,000, prompting the city government to invest $130,000 to make their temporary oasis a permanent reality.

For more info on how they made it happen, CLICK HERE.
