I added this picture of a pocket park in New York City mostly for inspiration because a pocket park needs to be usable by the community and highly valued. The pocket park in the picture is highly used and valued by the community because it provides New York citizens something they do not have much, green space and shaded seating.

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.
