Comments on notes:

    • I would like to emphasize the importance of secure and convenient bike parking with an integrated charging station for ebikes. (Basically ground fault protected 120V outlet.) in this link are examples of such private bicycle enclosures. https://cyclesafe.com/bike-parking/ We should avoid calling it "bicycle storage" as that is something else. With a secure bicycle parking concept, the bicycle commuter would be able to conveniently ride to their secure bike lockup which also conceals what bike is in the enclosure. In other words, similar conveniences provided to a car driver. I envisioned this enclosed, secure bicycle parking enclosure to be next to a dwelling's car parking spot. It should be possible to place half a dozen or more of the above enclosures in a standard parking stall. Perhaps also ones that could house cargo bikes.

Also, there should be secure visitor bike parking spots as there are for cars.
