There are eight parklet sections over the two blocks of Powell St. just north of the famous cable car turnaround. The street is a popular shopping district just south of Union Square that is routinely mobbed by locals and tourists alike. Undoubtedly the widening of the sidewalks, and narrowing of the street, will cause some growing pains, but as an investment in the pedestrian streetscape, this is a wonderful step.
