Frankford Community Development Corporation
A chaotic intersection on Frankford Avenue needs taming and a sense of place. Multiple efforts are underway to improve the intersection with lighting, public art, an urban park, and wayfinding signage. The Collaborative’s volunteer team incorporated the city’s plans into a conceptual design that includes a festival street, new plazas at the Arrott Transportation Center, colorful crosswalks, sidewalk bump outs, and a trash abatement strategy.
