Park(ing) Day Comes to the Delmar Loop

Unfortunately I missed this happening last Friday, as a group reclaimed a metered parking spot on Delmar Avenue in the Loop for a temporary park. Park(ing) Day began in San Francisco in 2005 when an urban design studio reclaimed a single parking spot as a park for the day. That particular area of San Francisco had been identified as lacking public greenspace and the reclaimed parking spot highlighted the need for more urban open space for people and the overwhelming priority that has been afforded to automobile traffic.
