Heated pop-up shops along the Greenway

Resident proposes small heated pop-up retail and snack buildings along the Greenway so small businesses can get established affordably and the space becomes a year-round destination.

The resident's idea, as submitted

The idea

I would want to build a number of small popup style retail/snack shack buildings along the Greenway. Ideally they would be heated to allow year round marketplaces for small businesses.

Who it helps and why

The popup shops could bring in additional revenue for the city but primarily they could be used as a way for small creators and shops to get established in a city with high rents. Having a mix of coffee/hot chocolate booths will also increase social engagement and make the greenway a destination beyond just greenery.
