We began on June 16th with lane restructuring over a 10-block stretch between Pine and Woodrow. Then, on Saturday, June 23rd, we hosted a full day of activities including a variety of popup shops, live music, and food trucks along Markham Street at Kavanaugh.
The goal of PopUp Stifft Station was to knit together the neighborhoods of Capitol View/Stifft Station to the south of Markham Street and Hillcrest to the north at the commercial intersection of Markham and Kavanaugh. It consisted of a 4 week economic impact demonstration that brought temporary tenants to vacant storefronts while testing new road patterns to make a safer and more inviting environment for pedestrians.
