Roadway and E. 6th Street), which took place during April 21 &#8211; 27, 2012. The temporary street transformation explores fresh ideas for making the street more pedestrian and bicyclist friendly. Going beyond two-dimensional drawings used in typical public meetings, Pop Up Rockwell allows people to physically experience a future vision of the city in three dimensions, in a real environment, and provide feedback before large financial and political investments are made. <\/p>\n<p> The project builds on the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative&#39;s (CUDC) expertise in temporary urbanism developed through Pop Up City, an initiative started by the CUDC in 2007. The project is led by graduate students at Kent State University&#39;s Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative, but involves partnership with several stakeholder groups representing advocacy organizations, non-profits, municipal government, federal agencies and local businesses. The temporary installations include Cleveland&rsquo;s first cycle track, stormwater bio-filtration benches, enhanced transit waiting areas and wind animated public art. Lessons learned from the short-term project may influence permanent changes, which support the City of Cleveland&rsquo;s Complete &amp; Green Streets Ordinance and Group Plan Commission recommendations. <\/p>\n<p> More info available at: www.popuprockwell.com<\/p>\n<p>\nFurther reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlanticcities.com\/neighborhoods\/2012\/07\/sometimes-simplest-ideas-make-best-pop-ups\/2492\/\">https:\/\/www.theatlanticcities.com\/neighborhoods\/2012\/07\/sometimes-simplest-ideas-make-best-pop-ups\/2492\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B&#8217; Spokes: I still think one option we have in Baltimore to fight the resistance to bike infrastructure is to call for temporary (or a study, experimental) treatments of a street.
