Editor’s note: This story has been updated to reflect that a rainy weather forecast has caused organizers to reschedule the PARK(ing) Day event to Tuesday, Sept. 24.
On Tuesday, a few parking spaces downtown and in Mid City will be missing—replaced with mini-parks, outdoor workspaces and neighborhood hangouts for the day.
The project, a local version of the annual worldwide event PARK(ing) Day, serves as an extension of the Better Block BR event that happened in April, demonstrating what Government Street would look like with bike paths, better crosswalks, curbside shops and landscaped sidewalks.
