Parking Live · The Chicago Experiment That's Changing Street Safety · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

Overall it's been going great.

They've expanded the footprint.

Uh they're probably going to be expanding vehicles.

So far it's been highly successful.

First of all, it's really tragic that that happened in Chicago.

You know, talking with a number of colleagues that work in Chicago and live there, remember when it happened.

So it's near and dear to a lot of us at Genitech our hearts.

It's incredibly disappointing that it does sometimes take something like that to happen in order to make the change.

And it's a real challenge to try and find ways to to motivate policymakers to

Make these shifts proactively.

One of the biggest things is the numbers.

Not only can we reduce the number of incidents that happen, people that get injured, but clearing these lanes out, when a vehicle is parked in a bike or a bus lane, you know, if it's a loading truck and they're double parked there because they need to do their deliveries, it creates problems, not only for the people trying to travel in those lanes, but also for traffic as a whole.

So it creates all sorts of other problems in the city.

And I think, you know, helping cities understand it's not just about making a clean bike lane or bus lane.

It's about helping reduce traffic congestion, helping the overall flow of everything else in the city that's gonna make your traffic move better.

It's gonna reduce emissions.

If people are getting from point A to point B easier and there's less traffic, it's gonna make it easier for emergency vehicles.

It's all of these other things that take place.

Just because one simple lane is blocked.

It's not really an easy one size fits all answer to give to cities to get them to change.
