Workshop Brings Creative Design to Myrtle

The Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership and the Pratt Design Incubator held a community workshop on Tuesday the 13th at Pratt Institute. The event attracted some 30 participants, including Pratt President Dr. Thomas Schutte, representative Chris Hrones from the New York City Department of Transportation, students, local designers, Myrtle Avenue merchants, and interested residents.

The Pratt Design Incubator presented concepts for new and improved street furniture and relevant design, such as innovative bike racks, lighting, trash containers, temporary fencing installations, seating, tree guards, paving treatments, and informational kiosks. Participants wrote comments on sticky notes and stuck them to the drawings. The feedback will help the Pratt Design Incubator to refine concepts for the next phase of design.

The concepts have been uploaded to our Flickr site to give more people an opportunity to view them and to provide additional comments. Please browse and make comments: Street Furniture & Design Concepts.
