Temporary structure on the Parking spaces – Barkley – can appear in the capital I can attract more people to the street, thereby making it safer to calm the traffic.
As told to “MK” author – head of the expert center of the Tubes.no Alexander Shumsky, while in Russia parklet was installed, the pilot project is coordinated with the Prefecture and the transport specialists of the transport. Using parklets you can make a comfortable summer veranda café or other temporary public points of attraction.
– Now there are two restaurants in the centre, with whom we do design projects, says Shumsky. – Still looking for other options. There is agreement with the authorities of the city, the idea they liked, but you need to look for each address individually. We see the streets where there are, for example, 200 Parking spaces and we only two. Barkley set temporarily in the pockets or in the Parking lot along the road. But you need to understand that no one is going motorists to take all the seats.
Shumsky said that about the safety of people on site markleton, do not worry. Theoretically, an unscrupulous driver can enter and the entrance and the café on the sidewalk – it’s unpredictable things. However, we must note that the design of parklet anyway is the damping of impact. In addition, they may be highlighted or marked somehow in a special way to attract the attention of the driver.
