AERIAL PERSPECTIVE OF PROSPECTIVE SITE - This is an aerial view of the proposed area for the pocket park. The lot is at the intersection of Holly and Simmons. As one can see, the area is very close to residential housing, which is an excellent place to build a pocket park because residents can conveniently visit the park as they wish. The park should be built in the area because there are none close to the housings.

Bicycle Cities

Biking is a popular -& green!- way to travel. Yet if there is nowhere to lock up your bike, people may be discouraged to use their bike to get around. Did you know that you can Request a new bike rack in your area? Cities all over the U.S. have multiple types of bike racks they can install and all you have to do is submit a request. Where would you like to encourage people to use bikes instead of cars? CLICK HERE to learn about bicycling in Chicago.

Comments

This is a great open space for a possible park. My first thought would be to connect the resident zone on the bottom right corner to the park itself.
