The Arleta Triangle Project [ATP] is a sustainability demonstration project transforming the public right of way at the intersection of SE 72nd & Woodstock from a neglected eyesore into an iconic community plaza. Since VBC05, the site has grown from a lone linden tree in the center of an abandoned lot to include a 54’ cob wall capped with sandstone, a dozen hearty trees, and hundreds of native and drought tolerant plantings tended by community members. Above this thriving landscape rises a bright red metal canopy designed to protect both the cob wall and site visitors from the elements. This VBC10, residents of the Mt. Scott-Arleta Neighborhood and surrounding area will continue to develop their vision for the site though a series of community planning potlucks designed to refine the community’s shared vision for the site and develop next steps for moving forward together in the coming year. In addition, they will be building their Communished: a tool shed disguised as an information kiosk designed to facilitate site maintenance and community connectivity.
