The site I intend to use is the Garces Avenue site. The site provides a workable space that seems logical for a pocket park as it placed at a large intersection which promotes the means of walking to said park. Site inventory - site consists of five large pine trees. Overall the site seems to have consistent level. Demographics - area code 89101 shows an average population of 40k residents over the past few years. Medium household income seems to be around the 25k mark.

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.
