In late 2015, the City of Santa Monica approved a parklet pilot program along Main Street at the request of the Main Street Business Improvement Association. By June 2017, three parklets were installed along Main Street. To evaluate this pilot program, the City commissioned this pilot program evaluation to understand the pilot performance and provide recommendations for the program’s future. The goal of this evaluation report is to determine whether parklets, a relatively new streetscape improvement type, is an idea that works along Santa Monica’s Main Street corridor.
