Dimond Neighborhood Oakland, CA

[Tim Chapman]

.
It is my understanding that these parking kiosks will be operational sometime next week
.

As part of the parking kiosk installation, signs will be installed
at either end of each block directing parkers to the kiosk for payment.
The new poles for these signs will also serve as bike parking

The kiosks will reduce the number of sidewalk poles to which bicycles can be locked.
(It is legal to lock bikes to meter poles.)
To alleviate the bike parking shortage, two parking meters per block will not be removed.
A sticker on those meters will indicate they are designated for bike parking.
The meter poles and sign poles will ensure that bicycle parking remains available
on every block in Oakland’s commercial districts in the short term.
As funding allows, the CityRacks program will install bicycle racks
in these locations to provide higher-quality bicycle parking spaces.
