Go skim the San Francisco Parklet Manual: http://groundplaysf.org/wp-content/uploads/San-Francisco-Parklet-Manual.pdf http://groundplaysf.org/wp-content/uploads/San-Francisco-Par... I see a well-designed, clear, and not-very-dense set of guidelines for building and maintaining an outdoor dining space. You could probably squeeze everything in this document into 10 pages of terse prose, but that would be far less intelligible. Friedersdorf is just being his typical contrarian self in order to get contrarian clickthroughs. There's some really great content in this document: pages 29-30 explain in very clear terms how to attach your parklet to an existing street, and include clear, helpful diagrams. Pages 37-39 explain in great detail how to make your parklet accessible to people using wheelchairs, and even include helpful architectural diagrams and photographs. If the original PDF had been submitted instead of Conor's contrarian clickbait, I imagine that most of the comments would've been about the terrific guidance around best practices.
