Movement on Main seeks to elaborate on the street’s role as an agent of social and recreational life.�� This unique and innovative street redesign, planned for Wyoming Street on ���ϲ�����’s Near West Side, ��will create a new��public gathering place that encourages the community to engage in the neighborhood’s emergent creative life through a variety of movement and new technologies.

Each of the selected teams will be given a $15,000 stipend and have eight weeks to develop designs for a buildable active urban street. The winner will be decided by a distinguished jury representing the design disciplines, health services, sports and human dynamics, economic development, planning, construction and the neighborhood, including Richard Weller, chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, and Marc Norman, Director of UPSTATE: A Center for Design, Research, and Real Estate at ���ϲ�����.
