Read all the Activating Vacancy posts, and learn more about POP Dallas.
The final event of the Activating Vacancy initiative was the Tenth Street Sweep, a physical audit of the neighborhood. Community members, volunteers, and artists collected data to establish a baseline for neighborhood health. They also recorded the conditions of streets, sidewalks, vacant lots, historic structures, street lighting, and several other aspects of the neighborhood identified by community members as potential sites for the audit. Information gathered will be used to propose, pursue and gauge positive growth and change in the Tenth Street Historic District. Participants used a smartphone app called rePhoto to take pictures and complete survey questions during the audit
Check out the images from the audit.
After a morning of hard work, we all gathered for a barbecue lunch at the American Care Academy. Thanks to Preservation Dallas, the The Life of Cities class at the UT Arlington School of Architecture, the 2000 Roses Foundation, Ruth West, the rePhoto team, and all the community members and volunteers who helped with the event!
