The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Invest in making T platforms "fun". Platforms are very utilitarian, with ads and occasional art at stations. Expand/improve performance areas to make transit more enjoyable and include art installations that show character of the community.
Who it helps and why
Choosing artists local to the station (think the electrical box paintings) would invest in a diverse group of local artists and performance areas would allow more musical groups of all backgrounds and provide a pipeline for people to do larger venues. Creating a culture friendly to creatives.
