Perhaps it's in the minds of those who consider having to walk more than a block or so 
from one's parking spot to one's destination unduly onerous. (That is, maybe it's not 
the number of spaces, but the distance/convenience.) The irony in this is that this 
apparent sudden cry for ultra-convenient parking is for a street that's designed to be 
walked.

The other irony is that if you bike to State Street, you usually _do_ get to park 
within a block or so of your destination. There are exceptions (not frequent but 
certainly not rare), but doesn't this indicate that there is in fact a parking crisis 
for bikes? Why haven't we heard from DMI about that?
