Reduce Off-street Parking Requirements The ci es of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Columbus, Indiana, and Sacramento, California—three ci es of different sizes, with different development contexts, and in different parts of the country—have each reduced or eliminated off-street parking requirements downtown and in mixed-use areas, yielding a range of benefits. Li ing onerous parking requirements has promoted infill development by crea ng more buildable area on infill proper es, opening the door to projects that renew derelict building or ac vate what were previously inac ve hardscapes or garbage-strewn lots while helping to create the density that defines a vibrant walkable urban core. None of these three ci es has experienced parking shortage or economic losses because of the reduc on in required parking. Today, Sacramento's parking code aligns with the visions espoused in the general plan allowing planners to review projects and approve projects wherein developers are given the discre on to decide how much (or how li le) parking to install. En ty: City of Sacramento Loca on: Sacramento, CA Website: www.portal.cityofsacramento.org/Economic-Development/ Bicycle Counts Cambridge has one of the highest percentages of bike commuters in Greater Boston and now, the city has a way to show it off. If you find yourself biking down Broadway Street in Kendall Square, you can now check out how many cyclists came before you that day. The city installed a bike counter displaying the number of cyclists who passed through the area, according to city spokesperson Cara Seiderman. The new contrap on, which displays in big green numerals the daily count of cyclists who have passed the spot, will supplement the city's bike census, taken every two years. During those counts, employees spread out over 17 loca ons for four hours and record the cyclists they see. The city then extrapolates that data to come up with the number who pedals through the area. Seiderman said they will not be doing away with the manual count, but officials hope the new bike counter will be more accurate and easier. “We know that a lot of people are traveling by bicycle in Cambridge and that the numbers have been increasing for more than a decade,” City Manager Richard C. Rossi said in a statement. Officials think the counter is a way to show how many people are out biking, and making sure people know “bicyclists count.” However, Seiderman said they are also excited about the valuable data they will be able to collect. “If you can get 24/7 data, you have a much be er picture of what the pa erns are,” she said. “We can see if they're biking yearround or biking through the rain.” Officials believe the counter is the first of its kind in the state. With it, Cambridge joins the ranks of such bike-friendly ci es as Portland, OR, and Montreal. The counter from the Montreal-based Eco-Counter company was funded by a $25,000 grant from the Helen and William Mazer Founda on. The machine resets at midnight, ensuring a fresh daily count. A less prominent es mate of the annual bike tally is also be displayed.
