Make Way for People People Spots (aka: parklets, pop-up cafes) are platforms built in the parking lane next to sidewalks in neighborhoods with narrow sidewalks or high pedestrian volumes. People Plazas will activate existing CDOT Malls, Plazas and Triangles with the introduction of new programming and retail/marketing opportunities with private partners. People Streets convert “excess” asphalt into hardscape public spaces with the purpose of creating safer intersections and/or the addition of open space in neighborhoods with open space deficits. People Alleys enable the use of Chicago alleys for artwalks, seating, and other events that can activate these spaces for uses to support placemaking and economic development.
