The premise of tactical urbanism is, in a few words, "Cheap and Quick". That doesn't mean that it has to be "civil disobedience" like what we have seen.

What would be great would be to see the City embrace the idea that ideas can be temporarily tested and get on board the 'Short Term Action, Long Term Change'.

In other Cities, similar unsanctioned installations were removed by the City only to be replaced in a week later by the City in a permanent manner.

The installations so far have all demonstrated specific locations where improvements to our streets can quickly be implemented. The City should recognize the value of the small scale insights citizens have to the needs of our streets and find a way to quickly implement improvement while the larger planning goes on in the background.
