September 16, 2010 Lindsay

Image by IheartPGH via Flickr I have been stuck at home all week – fighting off what I hope will be the first and only cold of the fall season.  I have been catching up on bad tv and blog reading and one of the events that has been receiving much attention in the blogosphere and beyond – it was actually a friend who I saw on the bus last week that first reminded me about Park(ing) Day.

Some Park and Parking History & Friday is Park(ing) Day in PittsburghParking

September 16, 2009 Lindsay

Image by JessyeAnne via Flickr This is a neat event that is another creative way to think about our city, transit and how cars fit into the urban landscape.   It fits well into the conversation we have been having about if you need a car in Pittsburgh on the post about Zipcar.

PARK(ing) Day – Parking Spots become Parks for a day – Friday, September 19,2008

September 17, 2008 Lindsay

Thanks to both BikePGH and PopCity media for writing about Park(ing) Day. Friday is Park(ing) Day in Pittsburgh. Park(ing) day is a one day event where ordinary parking spots are turned into pop-up parks for the day. The event started in San Francisco in 2005 and has become an annual event. Last year there were over 200 Parks created on Park(ing) day. I love this idea – definitely a creative way to get the community to think about how we are using our cities. Here is a list of Pittsburgh Park(ing) Day locations: ARL Wildlife – Copeland Street in front… Read the rest
