Park(ing) Day, September 18th 2009!

Hey Planners,

We need to get on the Park(ing) Day bandwaggon. Park(ing) Day is an annual global event that demonstrates the waste of parking by converting a metered parking space into a vibrant public park for a day. (Someone approached me about this last year, but we never acted on it). This year, the global event will take place SEPTEMBER 18th. I think we (if not SPO and Planners Network) should make this happen this year. Here is the link to the site:

Here are some examples of other places that have hosted some creative projects:

Boulder, Colorado

New York City

Awesome! You can count on me to bring a couple lawn chairs, some food, and a large pit bull.
