CLEVELAND -- A downtown street is turning green and it's not Saint Patrick's Day.

It's called Pop Up Rockwell. 

The week long experiment focuses on Cleveland's Rockwell Avenue between West Roadway and East 6th street.

The idea is to explore a future vision of Cleveland that is pedestrian and bicyclist friendly in a three dimensional environment. The green street will have a two-lane cycle track, storm water bio-filtration benches, enhanced transit stops and wind animated art.

Graduate students from Kent State University's Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative designed, built and installed the project that lasts until April 27th, 2012.
