Improving Tallahassee

The Art of the Box pilot project transforms functional Traffic Control Boxes into works of art by local artists. The traffic boxes provide ideal canvases to enhance streetscapes and promote a distinct sense of place among residents and visitors to the area.

The KCCI Southside Sense of Place Project worked with the City of Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Department to execute the construction of a new street scape for Palmer Avenue, which resulted in approximately $750,000 in improvements. Palmer Avenue now serves as the model for future connector roads between South Monroe and South Adams.

EllaVate worked with neighbors around Lake Ella to make it a more attractive venue for locals. New swings, new signage and a new entrance were created.

Cultivate Cascades conducted research on Cascades Park, successfully pushed for a more extensive amphitheater in Cascades Park, and partnered with local community partners to develop Discovery, a unique playscape for children.
