| Curb Extensions/Plazas | Place umbrellas in areas where seating is located, to provide shade. When choosing umbrella colors, consider surface treatment colors, as well as the color of nearby plants and buildings. |

| Movable, but certain types may be heavy and challenging to move longer distances. | |
| Due to cost, find a more permanent home for umbrella if used for a demonstration project only. | |
