Today, Friday, September 16th, is PARK(ing) Day!<\/em><\/p>\n

In cities around the globe, artists, activists and citizens will transform metered parking spaces into temporary public parks and other social spaces, as part of the annual event.<\/em><\/p>\n

PARK(ing) Day invites people to rethink the way streets are used and promotes discussion around the need for broad- based changes to urban infrastructure.<\/em><\/p>\n

In recent years, PARK(ing) Day has inspired city governments to create legal mechanisms to extend the public realm into the parking lane. In San Francisco, the Pavement to Parks \u201cParklet\u201d program provides a permit system for businesses, community groups and individuals to transform metered parking spaces into small \u201cparklets\u201d that are open to the public. In New York City the \u201cpop up caf\u00e9\u201d program offers similar permit system for local cafes wishing to offer sidewalk service.<\/em><\/p>\n

A listing of events scheduled for Canadian cities follows. For more information, visit the <\/em>PARK(ing) Day project website<\/em><\/a>.\"\"
