We'd also like to see the city repurpose existing curbspaces, including on-street vehicle parking spaces, into corrals for parking micromobility vehicles. Such intersection daylighting projects improve visibility and safety for vulnerable road users.

A series of metal bike racks is visible in the curbspace along a street in Seattle. Several bikes have been parked along the racks.
