More 'Parklets' Heading to San Francisco
The City of San Francisco is expanding its program of "parklets" -- small public patio-like spaces built on parking spots.
Permit applications for 27 new parklets have been turned into the city, of which eight have been approved.
"[A]t least eight businesses that received no objections are working on their own parklets. DPW spokeswoman Gloria Chan breaks down where those new public spaces will be sprouting:
'To date, DPW has issued eight permits out of the 27 and is in the process of permitting the remainder over the next couple of weeks.'"
