Can I park my art in front of your house?

I am currently working on a public art piece that involves planting trees in cars and parking them on the streets of Vancouver. (www.stickshiftproject.com). 

I plan to have the cars parked form June 1st to September 1st, and I am now looking for residents or business owners who would be interested in hosting one of the cars. The considerations are that the parking spot be on a road with high traffic volume, and have no parking restrictions. Please spread this message far and wide!

Thank you,
Julien

Sounds interesting! I'm at Blenheim and 41st which is pretty busy during the day... especially around rush hour and when schools get out. Give me a shout if you'd like to check our space out.
