| Park(ing) Spaces - Boulderites to claim parking spaces as no parking zones |
|
Walk & Bike Month holds ‘Park(ing)’ Spaces Day June 22 On June 22nd from 10 am – 2 pm, bicycle and pedestrian-friendly Boulder businesses will commandeer parking spaces for Boulder's annual “Park(ing) Spaces Day.” Businesses and workplaces will transform a street or private lot automobile parking space into a “park” area for the day. There will be Park(ing) Spaces in which to play games, kick back and read a book, lounge on rolled out grass, practice yoga, walk your dog, get a massage, drink some tea or just hang out and chat with other visitors in overstuffed chairs or patio furniture. Come take a break for a little while! On average, Park(ing) Spaces are 8 x 17 feet. This is a light-hearted attempt to raise awareness of a serious issue, the trade-off of space allocated for automobiles versus space for human activities. This event symbolizes our desire to rethink how we use our streets, which is a big part of what Walk & Bike Month is all about, raising awareness for a more sustainable community.
