title: Salt Lake City Cuts Car Parking, Adds Bike Lanes, Sees Retail Boost, Streetsblog, 2015
categories:
- In the news
tags:
- Streetsblog
- Salt Lake City
---

Salt Lake City removed 30% of parking on Broadway and that stretch saw retail sales outperform the rest of the city by
~25%. The road diet converted angled parking to parallel parking to create the space for 9 blocks of protected bike
lanes.

When all was said and done, the business owners loved it and attribute their business growth to the street redesign.

Key quote ...

> "Both customers and employees love the bike lanes," Jeff Telicson, manager of the Copper Onion restaurant, told the
> city. "We need more bike parking!"
