Nah. Taking back the streets from those speeding, exhaust spewing cars on 14th. Fear the parklet, cars!

Can we stop with the “al fresco dining”? We are not in Italy. You mean: sit outside when the temperature is pleasant. Please stop trying to romanticize things using colorful phrases. Let us please write everything out in longhand. Thank you.

Anything that reduces cars “hanging around”…but
sitting next to speeding cars, or those idling at the 14th St. light? What a sumptuous delight for that overpriced, overcrowded brunch! But if a pork belly cheese omelet is on the menu, that would be an antidote to the exhaust entering your lungs. You see, the cholesterol of the pork, cheese and eggs counteracts the lipids circulating in your blood. Just Google lipids hydrocarbons blood effects .

And “log” of course comes from the famous children’s toy.

It’s log it’s log, it’s heavy, it’s thick, it’s wood!
It’s log it’s log, it’s better than bad, it’s good!

I’ve wondered the same thing. Some of the curbs are painted for loading zones and there’s a fire hydrant on the corner at Tartine… that could restrict parklet eligibility.

YES! If Delfina and Tartine are allowed to take 100% of the sidewalk, they should be required to put in parklets at the very least.

burrito justice for city planner!
i am a big fan of parks of all shapes and sizes – free public space that people take care of is pretty badass

So why no parklets along 18th between Dolores Park and Guerrero? Those have to be some of the most crowded sidewalks in the city. Tartine / Delfina / BiRite need to get on it.

I know parking is a nightmare there, but converting 18th into a pedestrian promenade (or maybe bus/deliveries only) would certainly be interesting.

I don’t do the parklet thing because hanging out even closer to smog spewing cars isn’t my idea of a good time.
