What's a bumpout?

Bumpouts are a rounding of a sidewalk to create a larger sidewalk surface area

Re: What's a bumpout? 

I understand that construction could start in 2009. At the next festival in September, could the city "paint", "caulk",  or "brick" a drawing of an outline of the bumpouts along Roncesvalles. This could make the street a full-sized blueprint of the plans for all to see. Even putting portable plants for the trees.

Re: What's a bumpout? 

It's a great idea.  We did something like that at the 2007 festival .. we had an artist do a chalk drawing for us at the corner of Constance and Roncesvalles.  And Peter Simon, at the city's Forestry department actually went to a lot of trouble to supply us with a tree.  He was on hand for much of the festival to talk to people about the potential for an expanded tree canopy .. and better planting standards ... as part of the reconstruction work.  

In fact, I think we'll be doing some public awareness about this long before the September festival .. and looking at setting up a kiosk as soon as the weather warms up to let people know what's happening.  Let me know if you'd like to help out with that.
