The addition of greenery, and public art would create a vibrant and inviting atmosphere, attracting more foot traffic and fostering a sense of community pride. This, in turn, would draw new businesses and residents to the area, further boosting the local economy.
Secondly, implementing traffic calming measures on 7th Street is crucial for pedestrian safety and creating a more walkable environment.
