By talking to people where they live, by using block parties and other means to find out what people value on their streets, they’ve helped change how we do civic engagement. We usually hear from a vocal minority on projects, but we don’t necessarily know what the public as a whole thinks.

Russ Stark Saint Paul City Council Member and President

I love FSI's team work, ambition, and ability to pull off an extraordinary interactive, beautiful streetscape, their ability to trouble shoot and go with the flow, and their commitment to seeing a better way for us to navigate and create our public spaces.

Molly Van Avery Artist Organizer with the Cornerstone Group

The Friendly Streets Initiative has played such an essential role in our success. They provided the platform for people to engage the planning process. FSI helped us develop our greatest asset: our neighborhood. It's about creating better streets, yes, but first you have to come together as a community. It's amazing what we accomplished in a couple of years.
