SF New Deal has introduced the "Building Blocks" modular parklet model in San Francisco, located at Excelsior Coffee. This initiative aims to create stylish, affordable, and customizable outdoor spaces for small businesses, fostering community engagement and ease of maintenance. Designed by urban designer John Bela, the parklet reflects the unique character of the neighborhood and simplifies the process for business owners by offering a modular solution, akin to a Lego set. This innovation is part of a broader trend revitalizing public spaces in the city since the pandemic, enhancing outdoor dining and local culture.
Think of it as a Lego set for cities-modular pieces that small businesses can actually afford.
This program reimagines how parklets are designed, built, and maintained-ushering in a new era of accessible, modular public spaces.
This pilot parklet is cute, customizable, easy to maintain, and reflects the neighborhood's unique character.
The proliferation of parklets has been transformative for San Francisco, breathing new life into our streets.
