Kasper's Plaza | Shattuck Ave b/t 45th - 46th & 46th between Telegraph & Shattuck
Please take the online survey HERE to give us your feedback on the TTBID's proposal to create a pedestrian plaza at Kasper's, including the existing sidewalk, Shattuck Ave from 45th to 46th, and the 46th St (Telegraph to Shattuck). You are invited to review the three themes and various concepts for the plaza, give us your feedback and help us choose a finalized design. Opinions from the community - businesses, property owners, and residents - matter! We want this plaza to be a vibrant and welcoming community gathering spot.
The purpose of this pedestrian plaza is to significantly improve traffic, bike and pedestrian safety, and create a welcoming public gathering place for the Temescal community. The Temescal BID is seeking a vibrant public plaza design that will function well, with or without an active business in Kasper's. Elements to be considered include but are not limited to seating, tables, temporary and/or permanent art, plants, and a play area for children.
