PARKING DEMAND MANAGEMENT
LINK KEY AREAS
Supporting goBerkeleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts can manage car parking demand in the area, freeing up bikeway space.
Increasing bike parking will make it easier for cyclists to stop in the area to shop.
Separating bikes from cars will allow both to travel more efficiently.
Improving safety and comfort will encourage more children to bike to school, reducing congestion associated with pick-up and dropoff.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS
Permeable pavers and bioswales will manage stormwater. Used in the school zone, permeable pavers can slow bike traffic, reducing conflict with pedestrians.
Creating a safe, comfortable, and efficient cycling environment will encourage more people to bike, rather than drive, reducing carbon emissions.
These interrelated goals are best addressed holistically with a protected two-way cycle track along Milvia Street.
