Speaking of balancing transportation modes and transportation demand management planning

From Time Magazine, a story I missed, about accommodating bicyclists through "valet parking." See "How Valet Parking Could Save the Planet."

Hmm, can shared retail district-provided delivery services be far behind?

In the context of the bike rental service from Adshel that will be rolled out in DC, they said that they are focusing on downtown in terms of locating centers. Likely, one will be at Union Station. So I have suggested planning locations around trip times. Logically, it would be worth having a rental location at the Eastern Market Metro Plaza, which would be a 15 minute or so bike ride from Union Station...

And I will repeat the suggestion that the Downtown YWCA and Rhode Island Avenue YMCA and the DC JCC could create special club memberships for bicyclist-commuters.
