Create a huge water slide on a sloping downtown street
Who says community projects can’t be just plain fun? This project idea is to copy a successful crowdfunding project in the UK where a downtown street was converted into a huge water slide. This project will need the approval of your local municipal government to close a particular street and will likely cost about $10,000, which includes money for materials, street safety, and insurance.
As a alternative to developing the slide on your own, you could simply partner with Slide the Side, an organization in Florida that already has all the slides and logistics worked out: https://www.slidethecity.com

Could we not just organize to bring https://www.slidethecity.com/ to Victoria? They were trying to bring it to Ottawa. There is a Canadian one.. http://www.theurbanslide.ca/ … they charge to cover costs.
Is this the one you were talking about? http://bigthink.com/ideafeed/uk-city-converts-a-street-into-a-300-foot-water-slide “Of the nearly 100,000 people who entered a lottery for a ticket to ride down the slide, only 360 won”
