JDLand points out that the Performance Parking Act, which is at the center of the meeting last week that WABA asked people to attend, already sets aside money for non-automobile transportation improvement.
- 20% of the revenue goes to DDOT's Operating Fund
- No more than 60% goes to pay for buying and maintaining the meters. Once they're paid off, only 5% will go toward maintenance.
- The rest (so ~20% in the beginning and 75% later) will be used solely for the purpose of non-automobile transportation improvements in that pilot zone.
One of the three things suggested by the law is:
Improvements to biking infrastructure such as painted and separated bike lanes, installation of public bike racks, and way-finding signage for bicyclists.
That's something to be thankful for. But it still means cyclists need to show up and ask for these things.
