They’re called parklets and they could be coming to downtown Albuquerque if one local group gets their way.
Urban @ ABQ says parklets, or parquitos, as they plan to call them, will get more people to enjoy the outdoors.
A parklet is when a business takes one or two parking spaces and convert them into public spaces or a seating area. It’s an idea that’s catching on in downtown’s across the nation but not everybody in Albuquerque think it’s a good idea.
