Co-Design with Kids - Calm Collector

We’re designing streets for kids with kids - and their ideas have pushed us beyond what we thought was possible. We have some of the funding we need, but to get their big ideas built, we need your help.

Help us prototype a Calm Collector on Martindale Boulevard!

Martindale is a residential neigbourhood in North East Calgary, home to Manmeet Singh Bhullar and Ecole la Mosaique Schools. Martindale Boulevard is a busy collector road that runs through the neighbourhood.

Speeding and illegal passing are a problem - but kids had some ideas about how to make it better. We want to get their ideas built, but we need your help!

There are a ton of ways you can contribute - from practical permitting fees to pretty planters. Check it out below:

Paint the pavement

$63 buys one can of paint to make intersections and streets pop! [6 cans needed]

Seating

Help us build places for kids and caregivers to rest and connect! These little nesting boxes can be used as seating, taken apart, moved and re-used.

Planters

Contribute a donation to get some amazing planters built! These planters add some greenery to the school street and double as traffic calming.
