They made Groundworks, the landscape architecture firm that built it, remove it while they watched. The police had never heard of Park(ing) Day and were responding to complaints from a security guard. Their reasoning was the cube was a "distraction" to drivers and thus a safety hazard. It didn't seem to matter that the parking meter had been paid up.http://cal.streetsblog.org/2016/09/16/the-streetsblog-california-parking-day-thread/2016-09-16T23:16:28Zhttp://cal.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2016/09/IMG_3085-e1474063277217.jpgIMG_3085In Sacramento, the local chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects organized a whole block full of parklets, including a beach.http://cal.streetsblog.org/img_3087/2016-09-16T21:59:27Zhttp://cal.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2016/09/IMG_3087-e1474063323787.jpgIMG_3087http://cal.streetsblog.org/2016/09/16/the-streetsblog-california-parking-day-thread/2016-09-16T23:18:35Zhttp://cal.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2016/09/IMG_3099-e1474063364199.jpgIMG_3099Sacramento's event, on 9th street near the Capitol, was well-permitted and well-attended.
