The trade out of traditional parking meters for multi-space meters wouldn't be an issue, but for the fact that most cyclists use parking meters as bike parking. DDOT did tell me that they would have one contract that would include parking meter trade-out and bike parking installation all at once, so we'll see if that happens.
The District Department of Transportation says it is installing 101 of
the new [multi-space] machines in downtown commercial areas near Verizon Center and
the theater district, and on Wisconsin in Glover Park and on
Connecticut in Cleveland Park. The 101 green machines replace 845
single space and double space meters, DDOT says.
