Description:
The City Repair project has a program of "repairing" intersections around town, decorating them or tearing out the pavement, and installing new fixtures to try to turn public places into community spaces.
Sunnyside Piazza has a huge sunflower painted in the middle of the intersection, as well as a message kiosk for neighbors to post flyers, painted rain barrels, and a solar-powered, mosaiced fountain made of cob. It's the nearest Intersection Repair to the Hostel, and one of the neatest.
