Better Block Jefferson Park took place on Saturday, June 23rd, 2012 in the old business district of Jefferson Park— on 25th Ave, between Federal and Eliot.
The “Better Block” project was a community revitalization effort that temporarily demonstrates how to improve a commercial street with pedestrian and public infrastructure mixed with art, culture, pop-up businesses and street life. For one day, the project filled vacant storefronts, created pedestrian seating areas, provided landscaping and street furniture, redrew the street, provided live music, and more. Better Block aimed to create quick, inexpensive, high-impact changes that lead to permanent solutions for areas in Denver.
