The Piazza on the Mall is officially decommissioned, making way for the redevelopment of the space for the expansion of Westminster Presbyterian Church, the space for two community organization and the construction of a new, enhanced plaza, based in large part on the lessons and successes of the Piazza. The Piazza came into being three years ago because of this redevelopment initiative and we are indebted to Westminster Presbyterian Church for their vision and generosity to the public realm.

Over the last three years its been our privilege to pioneer a number of public space concepts at the Piazza, and to now see these spreading to other spaces in the region, including:

- High quality, free, moveable seating
- Games and and activities that are not secured, free and open to the public at all time
- The idea that we can affordably retrofit underperforming plazas, parks, and lots to be centers of life and activity
- Inclusive music making for those of all abilities through the Social Jam Sessions

We wanted to wrap up the Piazza with a feedback survey to those who enjoyed and utilized the space for the past three years.  Please take this survey and reflect on the time spent in the plaza.  We hope you had an overall positive experience as we have managing the space!

Thanks for your input!
