In Spring 2014, YAX architecture students designed, built, and installed a modular mobile parklet, led by architecture faculty member Craig Hollow. This parklet could be easily moved and was shared by various businesses along the Ocean Avenue commercial corridor for 6 months at each location. The first location of the parklet was in front of Fog Lifter Cafe (1901 Ocean Avenue). The mobile parklet was recently moved and reinstalled at Breakfast at Tiffany’s in the Portola. This parklet was the first of its kind in San Francisco, providing a model for other shared parklets in communities and commercial areas.
