Harbour Pointe Coffeehouse has been approved for a parklet. What is a parklet?

A parklet is a small space serving as an extension of the sidewalk to provide amenities and green space for people using the street. It is typically the size of several parking spaces. Parklets extend out from the sidewalk at the level of the sidewalk to the width of the adjacent parking space. 

This parklet will be taking up 35 ft of space. It will be a miniature park — something that doesn’t currently exist in the business district — with raised garden beds, and will be used for sitting and relaxing.

The parklet will also affect the feeling and flow of the neighborhood. In an effort to get opinions and ideas on design and beautification, Zander Natallanni of Harbour Pointe Coffeehouse and Michael Muehlbauer of Sustain-a-culture will be holding two Q&A sessions in order to address concerns as well as collaborate on ideas with the area’s residents and business merchants on this improvement.

Meeting times are as follows:
Saturday June 7, 10 pm–2 pm at Harbour Pointe Coffeehouse
Saturday June 14, 10 pm–2 pm at Harbour Pointe Coffeehouse

These times are designed for residents to be able to drop in for a few moments on their schedules. Or you can email [email protected]
