Wait till next year....

(In honor of the Brooklyn Dodgers ...)

Ken provides us with two links to stories at Gotham Gazette (hmm, my e-subscription seems to have lapsed...) about coordinated Parking "squats" around NYC in honor of International Car Free Day. Sponsors for Park(ing) day in New York City include Transportation Alternatives, the Trust for Public Land and Rebar.

--Replacing Parking with Parks
--My Park is More Important Than Your Parking Space

I am committed to help organize this for next yearin DC (somehow, it would be nice to do this in all the quadrants in the city) ... In the meantime for this year, there is a bunch going on in DC too. Check out the CarFree DC website.

-- PARK(ing) Day 2007 How to Manual


The group Rebar declared Sept. 21 "Park(ing) Day" and installed this temporary park in a parking space on Mission St. in downtown San Francisco, CA. The group moved the park to several different parking spaces throughout the day. Port-a-park: A temporary park was set up in a parking space on Mission Street by Rebar, an art collective. The park was moved several times that day. Chronicle photos by Laura Morton.
