DIY PedPlazas for Parking Day

On September 17th 2010 people all over the world celebrated Parking Day by turning a parking space into a park… if only for a day. Here in Portland, several folks utilized reclaimed materials donated by the Rebuilding Center to create PedPlaza style platforms.

The design is simple, sturdy, and low-cost. If you decide to try one in your neighborhood, let us know!
