GoLowell Walks!

On a beautiful Monday morning, close to 20 of us walked the Acre neighborhood with Lowell City staff, Toole Design Group and other interested stakeholders and residents as part of the Community Walks phase of GoLowell – a year-long process to plan for safer, healthier, and more enjoyable ways to get around our city. The goal was to identify infrastructure gaps and barriers to walking in the neighborhood. We saw intersections without crosswalks and broken sidewalks, but we also found these artists at work.

Positive Street Art, a New Hampshire-based company with a mission “to INSPIRE passion for urban arts in a productive way, and to build stronger communities through educational workshops, community events, and artistic services” was painting their latest mural to brighten the facade of a new business. Love to see how walkability and art can enliven city streets. Go Lowell!
