At the moment, the area that I have chosen for my pocket park acts as an empty space. Occasionally, cars park in this open space. A gate separates the railroad tracks from the everyday people. The gate seems to do its job, but a better and safer one would be more effective. Scattered foliage and litter create the current atmosphere of the area.

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.

This is a great location for a park. It looks like a high traffic area that will really help the community to make it more friendly.
