Great stuff Graham. Pleased to see you folks doing this.

At the same time, it's kind of sad to see the slow pace of change in Hamilton. We hosted this exact event 14 years ago as mentioned above. Now, without a single parklet or street plaza anywhere in the city, we are forced to host the identical event yet again. I suspect 14 years from now it'll be the same.

Meanwhile, check out this page from the city of San Francisco planning department. Yes, this is an actual city department website, not urban hi-jackers, whiners or activists:

Hopefully one of these decades city hall starts to get with the times. How fun would it be to work on street parklets city-wide with city staff instead of having to do tactical urbanist demonstrations all the time? The talent, will and forward thinking exists in our city populace. You're a great part of that demographic.
Hopefully we'll see city hall catch on one of these years.....
