Co-exist
A quick look at how other cities - world-class cities - treat their two-wheel-riding residents and visitors
Parking BLOWS
No matter where you live, parking presents some challenges
Never enough room
And even when you are on two wheels, you don’t always have room
Hard Choices
We’re here today to discuss a new paradigm. Let’s make the decision to treat two wheelers intelligently...as they do all over the world.
It starts with rules
• Dedicated parking
Efficient enforcement• An attitude of respect
A community that obeys the rules
Know your audience
• Give us safety, space and respect• We’ll make this a friendlier place to
ride and add to Boston’s stature as a great place to visit on two wheels
Loaners
• The mayor wants bikes, give him bikes...but be smart about it
You will need more bikes than you can imagine
• Follow other models - free 30 min.
Infrastructure and space
Two Wheels
• Bikes, scooters, motorcycles all living happily together
• It can happen
Space? Who has it?• NOBODY has enough space, but other
cities around the country and the world are making it work
• Use the space of one car for three scooters and that’s three fewer cars on the road. Do the math, then you have room for nine more scoots.
