BUILDING A BETTER BLOCK
Find out what worked in another City and repeat it on your Main Street.
It isn’t stealing an idea, it’s benchmarking brilliance.
Look at what a group of Main Street-lovers achieved in Texas.

An investment of less than $1,000 turned a neglected city block into a temporary sanctuary of bike lanes, wider sidewalks, outdoor cafes, art installations, decorative lighting and urban activity.
The “folly” of recreating a vibrant Main Street of days gone by paid hundredfold dividends as entrepreneurs saw the potential and quickly rented long-vacant storefronts.
Stay inspired and remember: A parade through a chaotic, un-shaded, 10-acre parking lot is impossibility.
A parade down Main Street is a thing of beauty.
