On May 27, installation of Vermont’s first parklet commenced in Montpelier. In partnership with Montpelier Alive, fifteen Vermont Tech architecture students designed the parklet, acquired permits and built the small deck. This parklet will remain in Montpelier for two summers, and the city has dedicated six parking spaces for future parklets to be built. The structure is intended for pedestrians to have a place to sit and socialize in the warm months of the year.
