Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

They took the old parking meters out a couple months ago to replace them with the parking machines. Late last week they re-purposed the old parking meter poles for bikes

(In Hampden Village, Baltimore) One of my "criticisms" of moving to the single block format parking meter system is the loss of opportunities--individual parking meters--for locking bikes.
