Curb Management
In our rapidly changing world, the humble curb is seeing a convergence of competing uses. From an increase in pick-ups and drop-offs to new ways to get around like shared bikes and scooters, curb space must be managed to ensure accessibility, safety, and circulation.
The curb is more than just vehicle storage or a path of travel: it is there to serve people. It’s a vital community space and one of the most extensive and valuable assets in a city. A good curb design promotes access and activity, drawing more customers for businesses.
Walker aligns public and private sector goals through tools including zoning, parking regulations, traffic engineering, and financing mechanisms. With active and intentional curb management, communities can offer more equitable access among different users, improve level of service for everyone, collect data on transportation behaviors, and create a sustainable revenue source.
