Every year FC Moves coordinates with the Streets Maintenance Program to add and improve bicycle facilities as part of resurfacing projects. This is a great, low-cost way to expand our bicycle network and implement our bicycle plan, and miles and miles of bike facilities have already been added through the Streets Maintenance Program! FC Moves is evaluating several corridors that will be repaved next year to determine whether some parking could be removed in order to add bike lanes or buffer existing bike lanes. We will be reaching out to residents and property owners for their input, but first we’ll evaluate parking utilization.
We’d love your help counting parked cars along these corridors during the week of Feb 21 – Feb 27. We have various timeframes and dates selected for you to count. For this project, you’ll arrive on the assigned corridor sometime in your selected time slot, count the number of vehicles parked in each block on each side of the street, and record the data on a data sheet. We expect it will take 15 to 30 minutes to complete. You don’t need to count for the full hour, just get a snapshot of each block sometime in the hour. To find out more information check out the listings in Engage below (you might have to sign in to your account), and after signing up to count you will receive an email from me with more detailed instructions.
