4.1.3 On-Street Parking Lanes
• On-street parking lanes should be provided wherever possible throughout the Central Area, as they will provide significant visitor parking while promoting walking and slowing vehicular traffic, thereby improving pedestrian safety. • On-street parking lanes can be utilized as short-term loading spaces for small retail uses. • The location of designated on-street accessible parking should take into account accessibility from the street level to the boulevard / sidewalk. This necessitates a curb cut be accessible in close proximity to the accessible parking space(s). • If the on-street parking lane is book-ended by bump-outs at intersections, impeding access to the pedestrian curb cut, then a section of recessed curb directly beside the accessible parking spaces may be necessary.
• Short-term or visitor bicycle parking should be sheltered and located near building entrances and pedestrian walkways. Ensure that these locations do not impede pedestrian circulation when bicycles are parked. • Bicycle parking that only supports the wheel is not permitted. Only bicycle parking that allows frame support is acceptable. • For long-term bicycle parking, provided as part of a new development, parking spaces must be accessible, secure and weather protected.
On-street parking lanes should be provided wherever possible throughout the Central Area.
The number and configuration of bicycle racks at any location should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
