Message about tomorrow's New Haven Park(ing) Day

A message from Holly Parker regarding International Park[ing] Day:

Just in case you haven’t had enough socializing with sustainable transpo-fanatics by the end of tomorrow's bike breakfast (7:30AM to 9:30AM at Pitkin Plaza in downtown New Haven), extend your morning’s sojourn from productive work and visit some Parking Day installations!

Yale Transportation Options will have a space on Church Street in front of City Hall (living room in a parking space), and Architecture for Humanity will have a couple of spaces on Broadway near York where they will feature gardening and games, as well as advertising their design competition for a piece of park furniture with such functions as a picnic table, a trash/recycling receptacle, and a hopefully a bike rack.

We will be setting up between 9am and 10am and will be there until 4pm with coffee, juice, games, and a pleasant place to sit and think world-saving thoughts.

New Haven has in recent years had one of the highest numbers of parking day installations per capita in the world. The image above is from a 2009 park(ing) day in New Haven, which we featured in an article. The New Haven Independent highlighted New Haven's Park(ing) Day festivities in a 2008 story.
