“Pavement to Parks” is insightful project from San Francisco that creates spaces for people by reclaiming possession of excess roadway, through the use of simple and low-cost design intervention. The excessively wide area which contain large zones of wasted space are expected to be turned into new public plazas and mini-parks. Lot of wasted space that is uselessly paved will be transformed into plazas and seating areas in excess roadways by painting over the asphalt, installing tables and chairs, green grass and putting up protective barriers. Hopefully such project will more to come—perhaps in other cities as well.
