This pocket park provides a breath of fresh air in a crowded city. In the way it is designed, several walkways are able to comfortably direct foot traffic with ease and lots of seating is provided for tired pedestrians. Overall, this pocket park is functionally perfect for its environment.

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 example. I like how the edges of the planters double as seating.
