re: Sam Seeks Platinum
I recently noticed an amazing infrastructure development on NE Mississippi that I sure hope will continued elsewhere. Adjacent to a popular coffee shop, one full parking space has been converted into a sizable bike parking area. I am not sure exactly what the capacity is, but when you see ten bikes locked in a space normally occupied by a single car (usually single occupancy), it really reinforces the fact that bicycles DO play an important part in easing congestion. Rewarding them with secure off-sidewalk parking seems like a pretty fair exchange (for starters).
