Borrow the Kit of Parts

Overview

SCAG’s Go Human Kit of Parts Lending Library provides pop-up materials to temporarily demonstrate potential and planned street design treatments and safety infrastructure to create safer and more inviting public spaces.  

The Go Human Kit of Parts includes materials to showcase five street treatments. The street treatments include a parklet, curb extension (bulb- out), median refuge island, artistic crosswalk, and separated bike lane. The Kit of Parts was designed by the Kounkuey Design Initiative and are made of portable, light-weight materials that are easy to transport and assemble. 

Temporary safety demonstrations create opportunities for residents to experience streets that are re-designed for safety in live traffic settings, test out, refine, and identify support for improvements.
