This Tuesday, City staff will update the City Council on the parklet program and the plans to restripe Park Street and Webster Street. Staff are also requesting authorization to purchase concrete barriers that will be placed around the parklets, replacing the existing white water-filled barriers.
Staff refined the street restriping concepts approved by Council in July, and they now show the locations of new yellow, green and blue curbs along or near Park Street and Webster Street - these can be found in the exhibits to the staff report. In their update, staff will also address high-level parklet design guidance, fees and the proposed new parklet license provision to explicitly require public access at all times.

Council-approved striping concept for Park and Webster, with parklets and parking at curb, and bike lanes
The Commercial Streets program launched in 2020 as an emergency measure to support businesses during the pandemic. In 2021 the City Council authorized its continuance through November 2023. In July 2023, Council authorized continuing the parklet program and approved new striping concepts for Park Street and Webster Street to reduce parking confusion, efficiently utilize empty space and improve aesthetics on these two major commercial corridors. The plans bring the parking back to the curb and use the remaining extra space for striped bike lanes. The new striping and concrete barriers are expected to be installed in early 2024.
In the coming years, long-range planning for these corridors will be done as part of Active Transportation Plan implementation.
