Site Conditions <br />4. After Engineering approves the location, the location will need to be approved by the Board <br />of Public Works, regardless of the length of time of the installation. <br />5. Parklets shall be removed promptly when the installation time period expires. <br />6. The requester is responsible for all costs associated with the installation of the temporary <br />parklet. <br />Requirements for each parklet: <br />1. Parklets are defined as public seating platforms that convert curbside parking spaces into <br />vibrant community spaces, also known as street seats or curbside seating. <br />2. The Engineering Division reserves the right to deny parklets proposed in locations that <br />have outdoor areas where tables could be added such as a lawn, a wide sidewalk, or off- <br />street parking. <br />3. Parklets shall not interfere with ADA accessibility and shall not be installed in existing <br />handicap parking spaces. <br />4.
