Remove "initial" from my original post and my point still stands; Europe planned for them at some point, the US didn't, and what the US did - to this article's point - doesn't lend itself to adapt to these parklets so readily.


Yes, in the '80s, '90s, and so on, after _decades_ of very car-centric planning.
