    PARK(ing) Day 2008 call to arms

    Target date: September 19th, 2008

    LAUNCHcleveland and TOIstudio would like to mention that we are attempting to create PARK(ing) sites in Cleveland on September 19th, 2008 and are welcoming any and all parties that are interested.

    The premise was begun by a group called REBAR in 2005 where it was determined that giving such a large amount of physical space to the automobile instead of to the people of the city was rather ludicrous and actually insulting (remember Ford Prefect?). Therefor REBAR decided to build small pocket parks at various metered spots (for however long the meter would run) to emphasize the import of planning for people first.

    This year we are hoping to recreate the vigor in Cleveland. 2006 had a few PARKs show up, however it was decidedly absent in 2007. If you would like to get involved feel free to contact LAUNCHcleveland or fill out the PARK(ing) Day event form.
