A parklet is a sidewalk extension that provides more space and amenities for people using the street. Usually parklets are installed on parking lanes and use several parking spaces. Parklets typically extend out from the sidewalk at the level of the sidewalk to the width of the adjacent parking space.

​

A pedlet is basically a temporary sidewalk, made out of wood and pieced together like a puzzle. It allows a business to use the sidewalk as outdoor dining space, while still providing a safe area for pedestrians to walk. The pedlet uses the parking spaces to accommodate pedestrian traffic, is level with the side, has an edge, and is ADA-compliant.

The City of Kingman Economic Development Department is offering a 50/50 funds match for parklet/pedlet projects that cost $1,000-5,000. Program participants can also get a free consultation from an architect to assist with design ideas. An investment in these amenities will not only make our downtown more beautiful, but will increase foot traffic and downtown store sales as more people use these spaces to socialize.
