Effective curbside management is an essential component of any city, business, or transportation planning. With increased congestion and services occupying the curb, it’s important to ensure there is a comprehensive curbside management strategy in place.

We spoke with Cynthia Bruce, Associate Director of Proposal Development at Precise ParkLink, to discuss how curbside management affects society and why businesses should adopt it.

Q. How does curbside management affect society, and why businesses should adopt it?

A. Curbside management is crucial in urban planning and influences societal dynamics. It helps optimize limited, high-demand real estate use - the space between the sidewalk and vehicle traffic. This optimization is essential in congested areas where various services occupy the curb.

Effective curbside management can improve traffic flow, increase pedestrian and driver safety, and enhance accessibility for services like public transportation and delivery vehicles. Adopting a curbside management strategy can help ensure the effective use of space, improve customer access, and potentially increase business visibility.

Curbside management is more than parking; it’s about shaping the very fabric of our cities. Businesses that grasp this concept and implement intelligent curbside practices improve their operations and contribute to a more vibrant, efficient, and livable urban environment.
