The work extends from Dallas and Weatherford in Texas to Fremont, California; Quincy, Washington; Southern Virginia; and Maryland. The Better Block is open-sourced and works with neighbors in a myriad of ways. One includes a library of designs for street furniture that can be downloaded and snapped together to make streets instantly better. Our community-engagement process demonstrates not only how to make a block better but also the tools and resources in the neighborhood that are readily available to make this transformation.
