If you didn’t, you might want to register to vote in…

These are part of an international event called Parking Day, and we've posted about it here on Wallyhood when the program first started in 2014 and again last year. This year, the city is expanding the event to two days, hence: PARK(ing) Day Plus+! Any person or group is invited to create a pop-up park, but a free permit is required. Applications are…
