Parklet & Street Café Applications Are Now Open!

Applications for the 2026 Parklet and Street Café Program are now open. Parklets turn curbside parking spots into small seasonal public spaces with seating, plantings, and more. They help make our city more walkable and welcoming.

Street cafés offer businesses a chance to expand their seating into the parking lane and activate the neighborhood. Street cafés operate as an extension of a business and require a license. Community groups, businesses, and interested neighbors are invited to learn more and help spread the word by joining one of the City’s upcoming events, listed on their webpage.

The City recommends that you start the process early. Street Café and community-hosted parklet applications are accepted on a rolling basis. AND The City is looking for three community partners to host City-owned parklets. Selection is based on a competitive process and applications are due March 31. 

Street café and community-owned parklet applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and we recommend starting the process in March. Additionally, the application for city-owned parklets, available at no cost to hosts, close on March 31.

To help residents get involved in the program and to answer questions, we are hosting a virtual open house on Monday, March 2, from 7-8 p.m. Community members can join the meeting using this link: https://bit.ly/ParkletAndStreetCafeOpenHouse.
