Dear Mayor David Martin, Board of Representatives President Randall Skigen, and City Director of Operations Ernie Orgera,
Lorca, its customers and general public would like to put forth a petition to create a seasonal semi-permanent parklet in front of Lorca at 125 Bedford Street in Stamford, CT.
The seasonal parklet would transform the use of one parking space from being able to host one car to instead accommodate up to 25 people and provide a public outdoor space. With hundreds of parking spaces available in garages nearby, the parklet would instead create an engaging environment, a space to socialize with the community, and encourage a vibrant pedestrian-friendly atmosphere in downtown Stamford.
Over the course of the past three years while creating a temporary parklet for Park(ing) Day, we’ve had overwhelmingly positive reactions including “this should be a permanent park” and “we wish that Bedford Street would become a pedestrian mall in the summer.” Each year we’ve had over 50 people engage with our parklet, using it as a space to enjoy the weather, work on their laptops, have lunch, or to play a board game with friends.
Thank you for the consideration,
Leyla Dam

Lorca is a fantastic contribution to the vibrant, positive, energetic community of Stamford. As a small business now booming, the imprint Lorca leaves on people daily is essential.
Even though I am sadly leaving Stamford this week after a few years, Lorca and Bedford St have been a big pat of my past year! Great idea for a parklet
Our family loves Lorca! A parklet infront of this store would be a wonderful benefit to our downtown.
City of Stamford: fewer young people own cars. Ride share keeps growing. If you look around the world, the best cities are the ones who accommodate motor vehicles the least. Please grant the request of this amazing small business owner.
We really need to support small business in this City. As a small business owner myself I have found doing business with the city of stamford to be a challenge. i am in full support of more outdoor space for to engage in as member of this community.
Lorca is simply the best. Stamford needs more places comparable to Lorca. It is the perfect quintessential coffee shop that has deep ties to the local community
This would be a perfect addition to our city. Lorca is the best thing to arrive downtown.

This is a great idea, and would bring a lot more excitement to the area. We'd also be sure to go a lot more with our dog.
