PARK(ing) Day - 9/21/2007

One of my all time favorite blogs to visit: http://www.superherodesigns.com/journal/
wanted us to spread the word so here it is:

On 9/21/07 people around the globe will convert metered parking spaces into temporary public open spaces. The first "PARK(ing) Day" was in 2006, which included 47 PARKs in 13 cites around the globe, including San Francisco, Berkeley, Cleveland, NYC, London, Glasgow, Manchester, Rio de Janeiro, and others. The Mayor of San Francisco even built a PARK in his parking space!

Everything you need to know is on the PARK(ing) Day website and you can see the video trailer of last year's event here.

The goal of PARK(ing) Day is to:
1) inspire people to reconsider the way our streets are used;
2) generate meaningful dialog regarding the planning principles that continue to unsustainably privilege the automobile above other uses of public space,
3) and to put a big smile on your face!
