Principles for Universal Curbside Language & Standards
Demands on the curb have skyrocketed in the last decade, while the amount of curb space has largely remained the same. Due to increased congestion, commerce delivery, use of streets for people rather than vehicles (like parklets, plazas, and outdoor dining), and access to technologically advanced mobility options (like shared bikes, scooters, and app-based ride-hailing), the curb has evolved into a scarce and sought-after resource.
Principles for Universal Curbside Language & Standards sets forth uniform language and standards to help local governments and agencies enact strategic and systematic curbside management.
