We have news on the parklets front. In our last update, we told you the Mayor's Office of Transportation and Utilities (MOTU) was soliciting bids from communities that want a parklet of their very own—perhaps akin to the West Philly parklet outside of the Green Line Cafe that served as an informal gathering space with chairs, tables and access to vegan cookies. Now, in addition to the technical support MOTU's parklet permission would provide, the department will also be doling out money: up to $5,000. [MOTU]
