PARK(ing) Day is returning to Seattle this Friday with 47 parklets and four pop-up street improvements across the city. Scores of parking spots will temporarily be converted in a demonstration of how right-of-way space can be put to alternative uses besides parking storage. Most of the venues will be located in and around the city center, but temporary parklets will reach as far north as Lake City and as far south as Roxhill.
Following on from the building success of PARK(ing) Day+ from previous years, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) will allow some venues to operate on Saturday as well. On both days of the event, parklets and pop-up street improvements will be open from 10am to 7pm allowing commuters, visitors, and residents alike to participate in the demonstration projects.
