The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Enhance public spaces through infrastructure projects (repair the roads, sidewalks, add garden beds, public community gardens, art, street trees, benches, etc.).
Who it helps and why
Charlestown is so divided. One half is high-class and the other half is more low-income. The half that is low-income is not as pretty and green and this needs to change. It's not fair, let's green it up with more garden beds, a community garden, and street trees!
