Some cool projects to get in on:
The City of Asheville and local design non-profits, Asheville Design Center and OPEN Asheville host this community engagement event on Friday, May 31 from 5-8 p.m. Give input on the West Asheville Bus Shelter, Riverside Drive and two other River Arts District and West Asheville community improvement projects. Have an idea? Here’s a great place to SPEAK UP and be heard!
Here are the four projects:

Riverside Drive Redevelopment: Redevelopment of 10 acres of open space, city -owned land.
Footbridge: A series of structures will be built along the French Broad River, including a a new footbridge that will connect a series of existing and planned placemaking spaces.
