@leeland@PhilipThalis Indefatigable is a good choice. Much to be proud of. Lugged this 487p door stopper home from a Town Hall Clover Fest a few years ago.

Donald Shoup found a better way: parking benefit districts.
If you take parking revenue and invest it in local improvements like street trees, repaved sidewalks, and street sweeping, locals will not just support pricing curb parking–they will demand it.
@RobbertBlunt@BicycleAdagio Depends how long the block is! Also on the demand. You’d want more at a transit interchange or department store, east street etc.
@dpschramm@BicycleAdagio In a long block you need some every say 100 m or so. Eventually some car parking has to go. Govt RUSA policy already says space should allocated to pedestrians, bicycles, buses, then moving cars, car parking last.
@PhilipThalis@walksydney1@cityofsydney These so close to a corner on path edge are a pedal catcher. Don’t conform to standards about objects close to paths. City of Sydney won’t budge.
