Activists 'Depave' Dead Parking Lot
20 June 2008 - 6:00am
This film from Streetsblog looks at a community effort in Portland to remove pavement from unused parking lots.
"Hundreds of conference participants helped break and remove asphalt from a 3,000 square foot parking lot. Depave.org is the mastermind behind the Fargo Garden Project. They promote the removal of unnecessary concrete and asphalt from urban areas. Depave.org will continue to work with Goldsmith Properties to transform this now asphalt-free site into a community greenspace. Once completed, the site will be used to educate the public about pavement removal and storm water drainage management."
