Future Festival
We should have a Future Festival to foster new ideas of technology, music, film, art, etcetera.
As Charleston continues to grow, increased public transit will be critical to smart growth. By providing public art and green space around CARTA bus stops, the city would be creating an enticing and inviting experience for riders, compared to many of the unattractive locations (i.e. East Bay/Morrison bus stop across from Sanders-Clyde Creative Arts School).
Allow 10 Charlestonians on an annual basis to choose a place for a Charleston Bench that will have their name on it. This is a variation of the successful New York City Bench scheme.

Love this idea. With so much emphasis on the past and preservation, a Future Festival could be used as a forum for envisioning a new future for Charleston - celebrating the past, but having a vision for a future where change is not fought tooth and nail, but discussed, embraced, managed.
We definitely need this. Great idea, Merrissa.
