DEFINITIONS
I’ve lived in the area for about 10 years and there’s an
overwhelming need for bike paths. I’ve seen many biker
and pedestrian collisions as the cobblestone street is not
bike-friendly.

KIT OF PARTS
Pop-ups and parklets generally thrive and evolve in urban spaces already rich with program, public safety, and natural and cultural qualities. Our goal is
to transform underutilized urban spaces into energized hubs for the local community. The kit of parts is intended to guide the design of parklets in these
spaces to include areas for rest, movement, and play.
