Parklet Idea Introduced To Ripon Officials
17 July 2018 News
One of the ideas recently introduced to the Ripon Common Council is a parklet or street cafe. Downtown Ripon Manager Craig Tebon says it is something Knuth Brewing Company would like to do. Parklets are the reuse of on-street parking spaces to provide amenities or green space. In this case the street cafe would use up about one and a half parking stalls. Tebon says parklets have caught on in other areas of the country and would be a fun idea for Ripon. He says, “It’s something that patrons like. They like sitting outside on beautiful summer nights and enjoying a beverage or enjoying dinner or lunch, that kind of thing. So it is something new for Ripon.” The idea was introduced at a Plan Commission meeting last month.
