PARK(ing)

Parking_1

Stewf, a friend of UC's in San Francisco, sent us a link to this site recently, and I found it just enchanting. What he had to say:

This urban planning group installed turf, tree, and bench in a parking
space in our neighborhood. Passersby and users fed the meter. Why?
Instant park. Green space in a part of the city that's missing it.

Think you want to take part? Just follow the handy do-it-yourself instructions. With these simple transformations, the Rebar group shows us how any regular parking spot can function as a PARK(ing) spot, and how desperately such slivers of green are needed in the urban landscape.
