• Abstract:
  San José has ambitious transportation goals and has pledged to achieve at least half of trips made by transit, biking, micro-mobility, or on foot by 2040. San José’s Downtown Transportation Plan (2022) identifies curb management and demand-based parking pricing as strategies needed to reach these goals. Today, parking-dominated curbs in Downtown San José face growing demand for reliable bus service, safe bikeways, efficient on-demand passenger loading and goods deliveries, and enjoyable public places like parklets, outdoor dining, and green infrastructure. Without adequate spaces for all these uses, delivery workers often double park and obstruct traffic, transit riders are delayed, pedestrians and bicyclists are put in danger by blocked bike lanes, people with disabilities are dropped off far away from their destinations, and business activities are stymied. The result: inefficiency across all modes of transportation.
  
  The total size of the zip file is 117 MB. The .csv, Comma Separated Value, file is a simple format that is designed for a database table and supported by many applications. The .csv file is often used for moving tabular data between two different computer programs, due to its open format. The most common software used to open .csv files are Microsoft Excel and RecordEditor, (for more information on .csv files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/csv-file-extension). The Portable Document Format (PDF) file format was developed by Adobe Systems and represents two-dimensional documents in a device-independent and resolution-independent format. There are PDF readers available on many platforms, such as Xpdf, Foxit, and Adobe's own Adobe Acrobat Reader. PDF readers/viewers or online services for basic functions are generally free (for more information on .pdf files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/pdf-file-extension). The .xlsx files are Microsoft Excel files, which can be opened with Excel, and other free available spreadsheet software, such as OpenRefine. The .mov file extension is a multimedia container format that can store one or more tracks of data such as video, audio, text, and effects. Each track can either contain a digitally encoded media stream, playable using the appropriate codec, or a data reference to a media stream located in another file. These files can be opened using the system's video player. (for more information on the .mov file type and associated software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/mov-file-extension). The file extension .md is among others related to texts and source codes in Markdown markup language. Markdown is a lightweight markup language, to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML) (for more information on .md files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/md-file-extension). File extension .json is associated to JavaScript Object Notation file format, a lightweight, text-based, language-independent data interchange format. JSON defines a small set of formatting rules for the portable representation of structured data. It is used by various applications as alternative option to XML file format. The data in a json file are stored in simple text file format and the content is viewable in any simple text editor (for more information on .json files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/json-file-extension).
