Parklets

Posted on March 31, 2016 By Steven Donaldson
Activities

For this event Livable Berkeley sponsored a “Pop-Up Parklet,” which was used and enjoyed throughout the day as a practical demonstration of how parklets can be successful in the City of Berkeley. Our “Pop-Up Parklet” meets all of the requirements for a sidewalk grade, wheelchair accessible parklet and can be set up again. The parklet, in use, can be viewed in the StreetsFilm video about Sunday Streets Berkeley, and in the photo below.

Pop-Up Parklet at Philz Coffee, Shattuck and Cedar Streets, Sunday Streets Berkeley, Oct. 14, 2012 (Photo: Alan Tobey) Livable Berkeley believes a Pilot Parklet program will be successful in Berkeley. We are fortunate to have a developed parklets program from San Francisco to build on, which is designed to minimize red tape and speed approvals. Still wondering what a parklet is exactly? How does it work? Who pays for it? Read the Berkeleyside article on North Berkeley merchants’ interest in parklets, and the excerpts below from Parklets: Experiments in Public Open Space, a Public Interest Design Publication.
A parklet is an urban intervention to create more public space. Parklets function as public space, much like a traditional park, but rely on the stewardship of a sponsoring business. Parklets are built in the public right-of-way, typically repurposing two adjacent parking spaces, shifting their use from the storage of cars to pedestrian-centered public space. A sponsoring business responds to a city-issued Parklet Request for Proposal (RFP) with a schematic design. Once approved the parklet receives a 1-year renewable permit. Parklets are generally seen by city officials as semi-temporary urban experiments. Yes, as part of the design and permit process, parklets are created to function as public space. Businesses that sponsor parklets are not allowed to use them as extensions of their business nor evict anyone from their parklet, unless they are doing something illegal. Parklets fall into the category of privately owned public open spaces.

Livable Berkeley is a local non-profit organization that advocates for equitable and sustainable development in the City of Berkeley. We champion projects and measures that protect the environment, promote equity, and enhance transportation, housing, and job choices. Community investment is key in our sustainable future, and parklets demonstrate the City leadership’s commitment to create a vibrant street life, support local businesses, and promote stewardship of our community.

Project Review

Posted on March 22, 2007 By Steven Donaldson
Our Work

Project Review

Livable Berkeley reviews specific private and public development proposals and works with the city and project proponents to incorporate smart growth principles into proposal development projects. The review and advocacy process includes three components:

• Livable Berkeley invites project proponents to present their development proposals to Livable Berkeley early in the planning and permitting process, ideally even before a formal application is presented. At these presentations, Livable Berkeley gives suggestions to project proponents to help to improve the project to meet Livable Berkeley’s goals.

• Livable Berkeley reviews projects for which formal applications have been submitted. It endorse those projects that meet its goals, and opposes those that contradict its goals.

• Once it endorses or opposes a project, Livable Berkeley writes letters about it, encourages members to contact decision-makers, and sends speakers to speak at public hearings.

NEXT MEETING: TBA

RECENT WORK:

In April of 2006 the Project Review Committee reviewed a presentation by the Citizens for Strawberry Creek Plaza. The committee had several ideas for advancing the discussion about how to open Strawberry Creek and create a public plaza on Center Street in downtown Berkeley.LETTER

In February of 2006 the Project Committee reviewed presentations by the BUSD School Board President and concerned Derby Street nieghbors about the proposed Derby Street Playing Fields. The committee made RECOMMENDATIONS to the School Board and the City Council. Committee members are currently working to bring all concerned parties together for further discussion.

In December of 2005 the Project Review Committee reviewed a proposed mixed use development at 1950 Martin Luther Kind Blvd. The committee noted numerous changes made by the developers in response to earlier critique, and strongly supported the final plan. This project goes before the Zoning Adjustments Board on April 27th 2006. Please join the committee in supporting this project. LETTER OF SUPPORT
