Hooray!! A much closer place for fresh air after I’ve had too many at Martuni’s. (Too many equaling more than 1.5 at that place.)
Can we stop calling them “Parklets” already? There is nothing park-like about them. At this point, they are just extensions of the the sidewalk so the adjacent cafe or restaurant can have al fresco dining.
Yeah and can we stop calling them “blogs” too? “Blog.” What does it even mean?
it comes from “web log.”
And “log” of course comes from the famous children’s toy.
It’s log it’s log, it’s heavy, it’s thick, it’s wood!
It’s log it’s log, it’s better than bad, it’s good!

Can we stop with the “al fresco dining”? We are not in Italy. You mean: sit outside when the temperature is pleasant. Please stop trying to romanticize things using colorful phrases. Let us please write everything out in longhand. Thank you.
You mean The Love Shack is getting a parklet, sick!
I don’t do the parklet thing because hanging out even closer to smog spewing cars isn’t my idea of a good time.
So why no parklets along 18th between Dolores Park and Guerrero? Those have to be some of the most crowded sidewalks in the city. Tartine / Delfina / BiRite need to get on it.
I know parking is a nightmare there, but converting 18th into a pedestrian promenade (or maybe bus/deliveries only) would certainly be interesting.

YES! If Delfina and Tartine are allowed to take 100% of the sidewalk, they should be required to put in parklets at the very least.
I’ve wondered the same thing. Some of the curbs are painted for loading zones and there’s a fire hydrant on the corner at Tartine… that could restrict parklet eligibility.

burrito justice for city planner!
i am a big fan of parks of all shapes and sizes – free public space that people take care of is pretty badass
Concur.
Yayyyyy!!!
Anything that reduces cars “hanging around”…but
sitting next to speeding cars, or those idling at the 14th St. light? What a sumptuous delight for that overpriced, overcrowded brunch! But if a pork belly cheese omelet is on the menu, that would be an antidote to the exhaust entering your lungs. You see, the cholesterol of the pork, cheese and eggs counteracts the lipids circulating in your blood. Just Google lipids hydrocarbons blood effects .
Nah. Taking back the streets from those speeding, exhaust spewing cars on 14th. Fear the parklet, cars!
