The site that I chose to work with is located deep in the heart of old downtown Las Vegas. On the historic Lawyers Row, this vacant lot is surrounded by law offices in houses dating back almost a century. While this demographic is not one that necessarily thinks that they are in need of a park, green space used for lunch hours or general walking time will be a welcome addition to a barren neighborhood.

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.

That's great that you're thinking of specific ways that people might use this park, like as a lunch spot.
