Ban new or expanded parklets for 45 days while creating permanent rules
In Plain English
The city currently uses a simple 5-question form to approve parklets, which are platforms in parking spaces for public use. City staff says this process fails to protect public safety because it doesn't address traffic impacts, accessibility compliance, or community concerns. If approved, no new parklets can be built and existing ones cannot expand during the review period.
