After choosing a lot, I set to work looking into what exactly a pocket park contained. I began by reading and taking notes on the articles listed on the side of the Discover Design project brief page. This historical account of pocket parks helped me understand the direction that these parks are heading in, which ultimately will lead to a more comprehensive proposal when I begin my Final Design process. (This are the typed notes that I jotted down)

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.

You've done a lot of great research. The document looks really thorough, but unfortunately I can't read it. Next time, consider using the text field instead of posting a screenshot of a doc.
