As they are easily installed and removed, this provides the traffic engineer the opportunity to trial, monitor, evaluate and if necessary, adjust an installation without the huge capital cost of a traditional installation.
PARKLETS & BICYCLE VALET PARKING
During the summer months pop up spaces are a fantastic way to re-energise a local community, it could be using a parking space outside a local café, or ice cream shop to put in some extra bike parking or some table and chairs and provide a funky space.
These can be installed quickly and at a low cost, and provide an opportunity to evaluate a permanent installation
They provide a greater flow of people to a retail area and an opportunity to provide a destination ride for a family
TCA would welcome the opportunity to discuss assisting the traffic engineers with their ideas
