Isaak was a\u00a0University of Alberta student and Golden Bears track athlete who died in a cycling accident on his way to work at Cafe Mosaics on Whyte Avenue in August 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Jon, a University of Guelph Landscape Architecture student, is wrapping up an internship with the <a href=\"http:\/\/meewasin.com\/\">Meewasin Valley Authority<\/a> in Saskatoon. One of his first acts upon returning home to Edmonton is\u00a0to begin building his parklet in modules. The modules will be brought to the site and assembled on August 29. The site has not\u00a0yet been\u00a0confirmed but Jon hopes that it will be close to the accident\u00a0site, near 101 Street on Whyte Avenue.<\/p>\n<p>The parklet will stand for one day and will be a focal point for the Edmonton Bicycle Commuters&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/edmontonbikes.ca\/services\/calendar\/\">Isaak Kornelsen Memorial Ride<\/a>. In the meantime, Jon is seeking people, knowledge, skills, supplies, and\u00a0funds to help with the build.\u00a0If you&#8217;d like to help out, check out his Indiegogo page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/memorial-parklet-for-isaak-kornelsen\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4868\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4868\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/08\/perspective.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4868\" src=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/08\/perspective-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"Rendering of Isaak Kornelsen Memorial Parklet.
