Raleigh residents invited to learn about parklets

The meeting will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the city’s Urban Design Center, 220 Fayetteville St.

An emerging trend in cities including Philadelphia and San Francisco, parklets are small sidewalk extensions designs to encourage pedestrian activity and community interaction.

At the meeting, residents can learn about the city’s plans to develop parklets and offer feedback. For more information or to reserve a seat, contact 919-996-4637 or grant.meacci@raleighnc.gov.
