From a semicircular carpet of grass rimmed with a stone path in front of us, we look at two black metal benches sitting on the path at approximately right angles to each other. At lft, from left edge of pic to the end of the left-most bench is a brick or stone wall thickly and somewhat irregularly covered in vines, mostly green but with an area that's tirning yellow. At the corner of the wall which is also at the corner formed by the two benches is a shrub groomed into a sphere. Behind the right-most benchis open grassy space with a line of everygreen trees. At right edge of pic is small landscaped grouping of shrubs and one low tree with yellow leaves at top. Red leaves are visible towards its very top but could be from a tree in the area behind it.

Bradlee Shopping Center Pop Up Pocket Park a transformative #urbangreening community project to improve the West End's pedestrian green infrastructure and "vibes"

Morning #urbanists! Sorry for the repost [I know annoying when someone (moi) has a bone/idea between their teeth] but for those who have not yet seen the bright green light of a #pocketpark in Bradlee, here ya go: the first draft of my proposal.

Bradlee Shopping Center Pop Up Pocket Park a transformative #urbangreening community project to improve the West End's pedestrian green infrastructure and "vibes"

As promised. here's the first draft of the proposal to #urbangreening #nativeplant #pocketpark two parking spaces at Bradlee. All feedback welcomed. Seriously. Much appreciated! Let's do this!! croissanthaver.substack.com/p/bradlee-sh...

The Bradlee #pocketpark will *privilege pedestrians* over the heavy traffic of King/Braddock/Quaker and create a gathering place, a little oasis; make a green *there* there of what is now a hardscaped nowhere place

Tone check? Too poetry-y? I want to get it right but can't quit the semicolon

Excerpt. See previous skeet.

Starbucks and Alexandria Pastry offer outdoor seating, but as Jane Jacobs said, “Nobody enjoys…an empty street...people entertain themselves by watching street activity.” The Bradlee #pocketpark would *people* what is currently pedestrian-unfriendly hardscape.

"executive summary draft" watch me use the grownup words that I just learnded!

the pop up #pocketpark will enhance the Bradlee's community life and commercial vitality and create a #nativeplant #urbangreening oasis near the heavily trafficked King/Braddock/Quaker intersection

Have any of you ever written a proposal to the city for a pop up #pocketpark?

How does a silly little goofster such as myself get a petition started for a #pocketpark at Bradlee? I am all ears! other successful citizen led #urbangreening projects I can research for precedence?

oh, you know, tra la, just a regular Tuesday, drafting an #NbS #urbangreening proposal to the city to make a #pocketpark of two parking spaces between Alexandria Pastry and the Starbucks in the Bradlee.

Zum #PocketPark #FranzVogtStraße im #Bochum​er Ehrenfeld #boEhrenfeld gab es den Wunsch nach einem #Trinkwasserbrunnen ⛲️. Auskunft zur #bvBOmitte: wg. Kosten nicht realisierbar.
Jetzt kam die Frage erneut auf – auch fürs Gießen 🚰🍎. Meine Anfrage im #ratBO: Was kostet das?

Could I go rogue and wheel some planters to Bradlee Center atrium (by the barbershop) fill them #nativeplants like Virginia sweetspire, and open a coffee cart with a little green and white striped awning and a couple of folding chairs and call it #placemaking #pocketpark performance art?

🚧 Aktuell gesperrt: der untere Verbindungsweg von der #OskarHoffmannStraße zur #Hermannshöhe im #Bochum​er Ehrenfeld #boEhrenfeld.
Grund: eine Wegesanierung durch den Technischen Betrieb.

Die Sperrung dauert ca. 2 Wochen und steht nicht im Zusammenhang mit dem #PocketPark #FranzVogtStrasse.

Sometimes even the smallest piece of residual space can be transformed into a special destination.
