Parklet Project

What are parklets?

Parklets are also described as "dining decks", they expand the availability of outdoor dining or retail space by using the city parking spaces in front of their business. This will also create a welcoming space for patrons and increase foot traffic in the downtown.

When will parklets be in place?

Parklets may be installed each year, starting on April 1st until November 1st.

Where will parklets be located?

A city parking space essentially becomes an extension to the sidewalk by using the parking space that is adjacent to the curb. Each parklet will take up no more than two parking spaces. There will be no more than four parklets permitted in each block. No parklets will be near intersections and each parklet plan and location will be approved by the city.
