http://www.rebargroup.org/projects/walklet/Rebar has created “Walklet”—a modular, flexible sidewalk extension system designed to create new public spaces for people by extending the pedestrian realm into the parking lane.
The installation at 22nd and Bartlett in San Francisco is part of a pilot project supported by the City. The collection of benches, planters, bike parking, and tables, sheathed in stained bamboo and red wood, will be in place for six months, and if it's well-received, could remain in place indefinitely.
Anyone go check this out yet? I recommend doing so if you haven't. I hung out the other night w/ some friends and just chilled there. It's pretty weird knowing you're hanging out in the street.
REBAR does amazing work.
