Parklets are a favorable solution to social and physical gaps in neighborhoods and serve to advance the community goals of local stakeholders. This document, prepared as part of the NJTPA Together North Jersey Initiative with financing by the Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Highway Administration, was developed as an addition to Beyond the Curb: Parklets in North Jersey 2014. It intends to inform local stakeholders, such as municipal and county officials, nonprofit organizations, and advocacy groups, on updated and expanded knowledge of parklet implementation based on experience from the past decade.
While there are many factors to parklet implementation, this updated document focuses on:
- The basics of parklets
- Benefits and opportunities of parklets
- Site considerations
- Example ordinances and fee structures
