@rethinkLTNs "Who really thinks Parklets are a good idea, seriously?" In general, I'd say it's people outside cars. Workers, students and shoppers who want to sit down somewhere for a few minutes. Here are a couple of examples of such people in Hammersmith:

Nick Mills from @NewstalkZB challenged me to take a photo to prove that people use Parklets. Strangely, it wasn't that hard.

@phonekills @CameraTraffic @LBHF @StephenCowan @London_Cycling Precisely. No cyclist is grieving for the loss of that murder strip. Parklets on roads like this are brilliant. They are changing the nature and purpose of the road. Funny watching these bellends concern trolling for cyclists because they’ve lost their minds over a parklet.

@MrEddieSimpson @DavidMc76631366 @BBCNews Think of it as space in the public realm. In most of the world, people run micro-businesses on the street. You can put a parklet there so old geezers can sit down & chat, like in Spain. You've been conditioned to see it only as car-space.

Good to catch up with @foxysdeli owner Sian over coffee in one of the parklets. Surprised and disappointed that @VOGCouncil are planning to remove the parklets from our town centre. They are an inspiring use of public space and a much loved and well used community asset. 1/2
