As part of the Winter Hill neighborhood planning process, neighborhood residents and business owners are invited to brainstorm ways to improve Winter Hill in the short-term using low-cost “tactical urbanism” strategies through a community walk and talk scheduled for Monday, Sept. 28 from 6-8 p.m. at 328 Broadway—the future home of Winter Hill Brewing Company—with Team Better Block.

Community members can help transform Winter Hill by lending their ideas for pop-up businesses, landscaping, parks, outdoor seating, art and entertainment. The evening will begin with a Better Block presentation, followed by a 45-minute community walk. Following the walk, small group discussions will be held to gather all the feedback that will be used in the next steps in planning the future of the neighborhood.
