The document examines the use of curb space in downtown areas. The approach considers issues like goods movement and taxi utilization along with parking in developing strategies for making the best use of the available curb areas. It reflects an attempt to increase roadway capacity and improve traffic safety while at the same time supporting economic activity through downtown merchants and their customers. The study also stresses the need for stronger enforcement of existing parking and loading zone regulations. The report should be of special interest to traffic planners and staffs of transportation agencies in medium to large size cities.
