"Parklet" is different than "streetery" both in signification, use (both 
term and referent), and development. There's a wide variety of 
"parklets" and their use is primarily to improve walkability by 
providing street shade, pedestrian rest areas, and reducing street 
parking, which can be part of traffic calming and improving pedestrian 
safety.

I'm familiar with "parklet" from my biking & walking advocacy volunteer 
work.
