Streets are usually the only public space we have in our neighborhoods. But most all of them have been designed with a single purpose in mind: moving cars around. With an Intersection Repair, that public space is reclaimed for the whole community . The intersection of pathways becomes a place for people to come together. The space becomes a Place - a public square.
