Winners of the Metropolitan Planning Council’s 2013 Placemaking Contest installed their projects in Chicago&#x27;s Union Station and let the public test out their creations. TrainYARD, pictured here, activated the Grand Hall with tetherball, hammocks, picnic tables and artificial turf, along with Chicago Tribune-donated newspapers that formed seating blocks. For 10 August days, visitors saw the potential of this central station as a neighborhood gathering space. #Placemaking #LQC #Transit
