Talbot-Norfolk Triangle Vacant Lots

On Saturday, May 30 over 25 neighbors (youth and adults) gathered to walk to seven (7) city-owned vacant lots to dream together about potential future greenspace uses. Ideas such as a children's teaching/community garden, passive park-bus stop, landscaped parking areas, a dog walking area, and more emerged.

The results are in! On Wednesday, June 24 the TNT Greenspace team is proposing to neighbors that we transform vacant lots at 93 and 106 Norfolk Street into beautiful greenspace.
