Week 2: STREET LAB: UPHAM'S

Week 2 of STREET LAB: UPHAM'S was action-packed. It started with carpenters Ben and BJ (here with DS4SI lead staff Ayako) volunteering their time to build out 3 benches to test in response to residents' numerous requests for bus stop seating in the heart of Upham's.

Artist Cedric Douglas spray-painted the benches and two volunteers tested them for sturdiness...

We also tested household furniture...

Ready for next week? We've got builders, yarn-bombers, visionaries and more...

Come join us to take on the alley and keep improving bus stop seating... This Saturday from 12-5.
