Of Planters and Whimsy

Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn


My friend and son-in-law, Chris Murtha, sent me this picture of Willoughby Avenue, an open street near Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn, which I wrote about in a blog post last year. The picture shows a recently installed planter that creates two chicanes, one for motor vehicles and one for bicycles. I think this is a brilliant design - simple, effective, inexpensive, attractive, and even a bit whimsical. I like whimsy.
