The City of Rochester has its first “Parklet,” installed by Joe Bean Coffee Roasters outside its store on University Avenue.
A Parklet is just what it sounds like, a tiny park that fits on a sidewalk and gives a couple of people a nice place to sit down. City officials and designers of the midget park cut the ribbon on it today.
Mayor Lovely Warren says Parklets are one of the latest small things cities are doing to give a more attractive look to the public. In this case, it replaced a fire lane in front of the coffee bar.
This one is owned and maintained by Joe Beans.
