How would you feel about public lockers near high traffic areas as a potential solution to that? I know that there is the potential these will get robbed anyways, but cars get robbed all the time anyways (SF).
There is definitely maintenance and cultural expenses for public lockers, but there’s no way it’s anywhere near as expensive or time consuming as maintaining roads.
- kristjansson 5y agoNot public, but gyms/athletic clubs fit this description in some cities. If you have a private, permanent locker at a gym/club close to your office, you can stash clothes, equipment etc. to avoid hauling everything back and forth on transit. Doesn't really solve for sports like softball and golf that GP mentioned since those are in lower-traffic areas basically by necessity.
- sokoloff 5y agoIf would depend on the details whether or not they were competitive with a car’s trunk. Can they fit a golf bag? Can I know that I’ll get one when I show up? Is it roughly on the way? If I’m wanting to go home to office to golf to dinner/drinks to home in a day, how different is it to go home to transit to transit/locker to work to locker/transit to transit to golf to locker to dinner to locker to home? Before kids, I’d play sports 4-5 nights a week. These fields often take up a lot of space (it’s obviously hard to fit a golf course in a high density area) meaning public transit would never be robust to get to them.
