[OMS_MANAGERS] Parklets?

Wed Mar 17 11:45:57 PDT 2021

We have piloted one and hope to have a couple up this summer. Ours are meant to be public gathering spaces, not exclusively for use by particular restaurants.

We invited all of the restaurants to a meeting to gauge interests and followed up with in-person visits. Only two were interested originally (this was before parklets became a buzz word), so we offered to pilot with them. Once others saw these completed, the interest gained and we are trying to build them for all that are interested as funds are available. I personally built the one that's on street level. The property owner built the decking for the other one, but we hired a contractor to upgrade it already. We also hired a contractor to build the rest, but it still takes a lot of creative problem solving to make it fit in each location and to work for each unique business. I have an great staff person in our City's Economic Development Department that has helped make all of this happen with red-tape cutting and funding.

It's all been pretty informal, as it is still considered a pilot project and they are in place as a response to Covid, but we hope to get the City to adopt a policy going forward that allows them to be permanent. Each one is an informal partnership between the business(es), the City, and HDP. The only formal part is that the business had to provide a certificate of insurance for liability to the City. In one case, since multiple businesses are sharing it, we provided the COI. The business does the daily maintenance. HDP helps with repairs and cares for the planters. The City has provided ongoing financial support for modification and maintenance when appropriate. Hope this helps!

These are beautiful!! Did you do it in the form of a grant or application? Also the main concern the city has is maintenance after they are given.

We've built five parklets over the last year. Let me know what specific information you are looking for or give me call.

Hi All,

Thank you in advance! Has anyone created a parklet program or provided parklets to restaurants? The city is contemplating it for a grant and I would love to share any information if anyone in our program has done this.

Thanks,

Renatta
