I don’t know.
But today Camden Avery of UpperCasing (The Upper Haight Blog) has the deets on this issue.

I’m stumped on this issue – I can’t even hazard a guess as to the answer.
But I’ll tell you, I appreciate the way this particular parklet doesn’t block traffic the way the poorly-designed and overly wide Mojo Bicycle Cafe Parklet does block traffic…

Nobody will hassle you* for playing Beer Kickball while holding the concomitant open containers. ‘Cause it’s the Haight, baby.
See? (Note double fister in the middle – I think he was team captain.)

Giant boxes in the harbor
Giant boxes made of aluminum**
Giant boxes, giant boxes
Giant boxes, all the same
There’s a green one and a red one
And a blue one and a purple one
And they’re all made out of aluminum**
And they all look just the same
*Which hardly ever crash into the Bay Bridge and leak bunker fuel all over the place
**Or steel

Empty tanker Polar Alaska heads out back up to I’ll-give-you-just-one-guess as full container ships arrive from East Asia.
Just another day in the busy 415.

The Rockridge Trader Joe ‘s at 5727 College Ave is now using this giant model of the giant container cranes of the Port of Oakland to symbolize the City of Oakland.
Well played, Rockridge TJ’s.

The busy Port of Oakland has more international shipping containers than you can imagine.
That keeps the Star Wars AT-AT-looking container cranes busy all the time.

There’s a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
