new info for Boulder CO

[bikesue]

i am trying to do this in boulder as part of bike month. the city
wants us to build fences for the traffic engineer to feel ok about it.
was was the requirement in SF and how did you get oermits. thanks

There were no requirements because we just fed the meters and occupied
the spaces. How the hell is a fence going to protect people on the
other side of the fence from an out-of-control car? If the police give
you tickets for creating park space even though you're paying the
meters, well, you've made a great political point, if you ask me. Dare
them.

I would like to do this in my hometown of Hanford, CA.  However, the legality of using parking space may be a gray area as the parking spaces while public, are free.  Looking through the municipal code I couldn't come across anything that would outright prevent me so long as it was a vehicle.  Could free public parking pose a problem or could it make PARKing a breeze?

Thanks,

Jarred Olsen

Perhaps you could park a flatbed truck or a large flat trailer in the
space and do that up as a park. You might need a safety rail around it to
prevent people falling off, plus steps on and off, but one nifty benefit
is that you could prep it before you park it, and pack it up after you
drive it away. :-)
