Driveway Chats about Cooling in W. Mesa
We want to hear your stories about coping with extreme heat in the community! Cool island champions will have tables and chairs set up in driveways throughout Mesa to listen to community members discuss extreme heat, its causes, how residents currently stay cool and other available solutions. Working from large maps, participants will share their ideas on how to make public spaces cooler using trees, art, structural shade, and innovative materials. Each driveway chat group will recommend prototypes to be built that will be voted on by the community
