A YMPJ project
Morrison Plaza and Open Market
A renovated plaza and weekend market on Harrod Place, near Morrison and Westchester Avenues.
Economic benefits
- Open Market featuring a Farm Stand: beginning in Spring 2023, on weekends Harrod Place will feature a fresh & affordable produce market as well as pop-up vending opportunities for existing merchants and new entrepreneurs.
- Heighten Visibility: local merchants will be able to create a pop-up outdoor experience beneficial to all. Added foot traffic will help generate further economic gains.
- Eating Space: people can buy food from local restaurants and enjoy their meals in the plaza.
Community benefits
- Seating Area: transit riders won’t need to stand on a long line waiting for the bus, they will have an area where they can sit.
- Learning Space: after school and in the summer months kids and their parents can take books out from the library and read under the shade of the
trees. - Transportation: increase bike racks and rentals as well as e-scooter access in our community where less than 30% of households own cars
- Free WIFI: free internet access (planned for Spring 2023)
