Pilon Party update
Category: Mobility, Provisional structures
Small update since the last post on these plastic re-appropriation tools: where I previously said the goal of the 2nd added pilon was not clear, because the rope was too short, I have to correct: The owner has replaced the short rope with a longer one, so it now effectively stretches over the parking place.

Boulevard du Jubilé, corner Leopold II Laan
A third pilon has appeared on this spot. The orange plastic guardians that were placed first and second were clearly intended to prevent cars from parking in front of the garages. The concept of this small additional pilon is less obvious. Because the cord with which it is attached to the tree is very short, the pilon can not be placed on the parkig place. But maybe it’s function is to fence of a small reclaimed greenzone in between the two pilons ?

On the corner of the Jetselaan there are a couple of trees in which the parc’s population of parrots gather in the evening hours. Car owners in the neighbourhood know this, and do not park their cars underneath the trees. Hence there is always parking place, which is happily used by unaware car drivers.
