Mayor Buddy Dyer and District 4 City Commissioner Patty
Sheehan will join staff from the City’s Parking Division and Sign Shop
as they designate spaces for two-wheeled motorized vehicles. Mayor Dyer
and Commissioner Sheehan will assist with painting the curb, striping
the parking spaces and installing two-wheel parking signage.
Under Green Works Orlando, Mayor Dyer’s environmental
action agenda, the City pledged to improve opportunities for alternative
modes of transportation for our citizens. By designating free
two-wheeled parking zones throughout the Downtown Business District, the
City is improving access for individuals that use motorcycles or
motorized scooters as their main form of transportation. These vehicles
are more sustainable as they contribute less to traffic congestion and
receive better gas mileage than regular four-wheel vehicles.
Phase I of this plan will provide eight areas of
on-street parking spaces for two-wheeled motorized vehicles. Phase II
will include locations within City operated parking garages. The spaces
would be on the first level and have easy access from the street without
passing through a gate arm. Bicycle racks will also be included in these
designated parking areas.
The Parking Division plans to continue creating
additional two-wheel parking zones throughout the Downtown Business
District as demand increases and funds allow.
