Conclusion
Observations
2015—Although capacity was not found in many buildings where it was found in 2010, it was more than made up for by capacity added.
2010—No clearconnection between demand and supply w/ property managers
In many cases, where successful & adequate bike parking had been installed, more parking was being added.
