Unity @ Park Avenue

Renovating the lot at Park and North is part of an ongoing project to revive the southeast side of that intersection. Despite its prominent location at the north end of the neighborhood, the corner of Park Avenue and North Avenue has turned into a neglected piece of Bolton Hill.

The artist Ernest Shaw in 2021 painted murals on two row house walls facing North Ave. The renovated lot beneath the east mural will create an inviting, activated space for residents, passersby and people waiting for buses and more opportunity for social connections between Bolton Hill and Reservoir Hill.  This renovation would produce more permeable surfaces and water runoff retention zones containing native trees, shrubs, and additional plants. Installing a creatively reimagined bus shelter is the third phase of the project. 

This funding will allow Midtown to support the ongoing work by the BHCA as we engage with partners at CityScape Engineering LLC and EnviroCollab, both Women Owned businesses. The monies will be used to produce plans for up to 30% of the design work which will allow the project to move to it's next phase of development.

Midtown is excited for this partnership with the Bolton Hill Community Association and what this means for propelling this project into the future.
