Berkeley’s Telegraph Business Improvement District has installed a series of planters along the median at the corner of Dwight Way and Telegraph Avenue, following several weeks of occupation by People’s Park supporters running a “free store” that distributed supplies to residents in need.

“We really think this is a really important spot aesthetically, for just the pedestrian environment, and are trying to do whatever we can to just make it nice for people, while it’s not really a usable space,” Telegraph Business Improvement District Executive Director Alex Knox said in an interview Friday.
