Bike Parking Review: MN Orchestra
The treble clef bike racks are an A+ in my book. They fit perfectly with the location, there are a handful of them, and there are plenty of places on each rack to lock, making them usable with any bike.

I'd also like to see mandatory re-testing every five years when drivers renew their license. There were no bike lanes or green pedestrian crossings or multimodal roads when I got my license.
"The goal is not to punish drivers, but to make roads less forgiving of distraction by aligning human psychology with physical design... policymakers must embrace the same logic — insist on streets & communities that demand cognitive engagement behind the wheel." www.startribune.com/mn-car-accid...

The framing of the mobility problem assumes that everyone lives directly on the street where the bus runs. The percentage difference in distance for getting to stops in consolidated vs. every-block patterns generally shrinks as you move perpendicularly away from the route
