Kerouac was a bilingual author. In a city where the residents speak many languages, a project honoring Kerouac’s many “voices” seems appropriate. I would like to see a project that nurtures the next generation of Lowell’s writers and especially encourages young people who speak different languages in various parts of their lives.

Pick historical Jack Kerouac locations throughout Lowell and put sidewalk stencils and temporary lightpost signage at each location. Make a billboard map installed at Kerouac Park with pamphlets people can take for a walking tour of all the locations.
