Last week’s project was one in which I had hope to extend the civil engagement that I experienced both in Week #6 and Week #16. I had hoped to once engage with the community.

Although this project was not one of my own ideas (more on that later in the week) I had hoped that by putting my own twist on it I would make it my own.

I had wanted to head out and install 5 signs per day for 5 days (25 signs in total) but this proved to be a greater task than it probably should have been.

The windy weather coupled with the need to install these signs with nothing more than various types of tape made completing this project in the scale I had hoped a little bit difficult.

Because of the wind I hardly put out as many posters as I wanted to and as a results in some ways I feel as I failed myself even though I know there was no way I could control the role that the weather would play.

One thing I am happy about is the fact that the signs I did put up were used on a number of occasions (I observed them) and that many of the signs remain even today.

I think that knowing that some people are taking the time to slow down, stop and take a look at their surrounding is important for a city to grow and for a city to be appreciated.

I believe it is only when we beginning to better understand and appreciate the world around us, the city we live within, that we can start to think about and act on change.
