Avenues of Possibilities
A new event series dedicated to improving Wisconsin communities through sharing creative and visionary designs is coming to a city near you this summer.
The Avenues of Possibilities Tour will make six stops, from Kenosha to La Crosse, helping people engage in conversations about what will make their communities better places to live, work, and play. Perhaps it’s a more scenic walkway to get to your favorite store, restaurant, or library. Maybe you’d like to see more protected paths for bikes to get around town. Others may want artwork and creative designs featured in the roads and bridges throughout their communities. No idea is off the table – the first step is simply to share your dreams.
The Avenues of Possibilities Tour is more than just a series of events; it is a call to action.
Each stop will feature an interactive workshop, during which attendees will share their own ideas for their communities. From there, the work is just beginning. Attendees will receive follow-up information on ideas that surfaced during the workshop and the ways in which they can advocate for those ideas on a local and state level.
