This one was just to give credit to Tortas Gallas for their great work (and writing) and all the bloggers who covered the event.

He had a pretty good day hanging out at our temporary park. That essay above, from Torti Gallas and Partners, is really spot-on. I wonder how voters would feel about a candidate using that kind of rhetoric? Maybe some of our councilmen will integrate some of this type of thinking into their "smart planning" speeches they like to give at neighborhood meetings. Removing parking spots is a politically difficult thing to do, but if you can show some quick, cheap, and very positive benefits to removing parking - it is a politicians dream. You can improve a local area with almost no real work - just send a work crew out to paint-out a stall and put in some cheapie bike racks or rubber cones glued to the ground or cheapie xeriscaping. Instant "park" or "green street". Yeah, that's my nephew. He had a pretty good day hanging out at our temporary park.
