Way to "reclaim" useful land for a park 0.3 miles from one of the best parks in Seattle to the east, 0.1 and 0.2 miles from parks to the north (about 2 blocks), 0.4 miles from the closest park to the south, and 0.5 miles from the closest park to the west.
Seriously don't these kids have better things to do with their time. I mean, Diablo 3 just came out. Go do something useful.
PS: If I saw anyone illegally blocking off parking spaces, I'd call the cops, and they'd kick you out, because it's illegal. Way to respect your own neighborhood.
How does this make Seattle more "livable?" As #1 pointed out, you can barely swing your arms without hitting a park on Capitol Hill - it's not like they're adding something that's missing from the neighborhood.
Oh wait the opposite of that.
So the cars didn't have access for a few hours, get a grip.
Keep Capitol Hill weird.
When you know you're right and everybody else is wrong, who needs process? Just do it. Like the commercial.
When skateboarders take over a parking lot to grind curbs, or kids pull out a couple of nets and play street hockey, they don't call themselves "urban activists" and bust out a facebook page to congratulate themselves.
This is so pretentious it hurts.
that's like, athletic, so it doesn't count. those kids are jocks.
People have been proving this concept for years, in many cities, including Seattle. Forgetting whether it is a good idea, or makes sense when so close to so many actual and wonderful parks, the giant pat on their own backs seems unwarranted.
With the exception of delivery vehicle & public and community service vehicles, most automobiles in major cities are there because the lack of inner city housing/good public transport/amenity in walking distance has made driving in rather than walking/ cycling / PT commuting in more desirable.
Congestion, lack of parking, and all out inconvenience for drivers, coupled with excellent alternatives = the solution.
But if you want to impress us...go do that on I-5 at around 4:30pm this afternoon.
