Canalside Dining

Idea:

A special dining event! Use Lucy Larcom Park or another canalside space to set up tables for one evening. Downtown visitors may order a special meal from one of several participating restaurants, and a waiter will bring the meal to the canalside table. It would be much like “Savor the Summit” Grande Table (see link) [Read more…]

Benefit:

This would bring additional exposure to downtown restaurants and to Lowell's underutilized canalside space. It might inspire more use from the former Sun printing building. People may try a new restaurant if it's in a fun new context and want to visit their bricks-and-mortar establishment if they like it.

Location:

Downtown / JAM, OldIdea.

Paint concrete barricades!

Idea:

Those concrete jersey barrier things always look crummy, and Lowell has a bunch of them on bridges and whatnot. Painting them in fun ways is a simple fix.

Benefit:

Painted infrastructure makes the city look more lively.

Location:

Citywide, OldIdea.
