It will focus on the Washington Street Skate Park that is an example of the re-appropriation of remnant vacant parcels in the city. This space was activated “illegally” with a non-traditional land use and a citizen led process to “legalize it” In doing so it unveiled multiple layers of regulatory activity which actually contributed to the long term vacancy and that ultimately prevented any type of legal development occurring.
