Repurposing

What can you do if a parking area has been designated in an unfavorable manner or if the bicycle storage is makeshift in the laundry room. There are options for rezoning here..

Shop A has a parking space right next to the house, although it does not belong to the shop as such, but is public parking space.

There are parking lot fights during business hours. Parking spaces are also very rare in the surrounding area due to other companies.

For long periods of time there were "wild parkers" who parked their vehicles for weeks without having any connection to the facility. Due to the lack of parking space, the municipality was asked to change the situation, which was rejected due to the public nature of the parking area. After further interventions, a parking disc requirement and a limitation of parking time to a maximum of 30 minutes were introduced.

Now a significant portion of the parking lot has been marked with “employee” signs and is no longer allowed to be used by outsiders.

Cycling needs space - and is therefore in competition with other demands on public space, which is scarce in many municipalities. Here we show good examples of how municipalities have creatively made space for cycling. Whether through the establishment of cycle streets, cycle priority routes or the reallocation of parking space.
