Melrose Ped/Bike: Art in the Parklets

As part of the Melrose Pedestrian & Bicyclist Committee’s “Shared Streets and Spaces” project, four public parklets were installed in Melrose this fall. The committee partnered with Follow Your Art Community studios to produce and install community-driven artwork in the Main Street parklet, which was very well received by the community. Parklets are open to all and provide safe outdoor seating proximate to community businesses. There is an expressed interest from the City, the Ped/Bike team, and the community for art to be displayed in all parklets, with a target to install in Spring 2021. The Council applauds this creative placemaking initiative in Melrose.
