I call the concrete barriers used to protect Neighborhood Greenways, the Arleta Triangle street plaza, and now the NE 21st bridge, “Hardesty barriers” — to recognize Former Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty who had the courage during her time at city hall to protect people from harm with an adequate solution. They are often installed upside down to attach a short sign post, but they should be flipped over and filled with a growing medium so the community can use them for plant-based wayfinding.
