- "Curb inventory"
A curb inventory refers to an assessment or record of the curb space in a particular area. Traditionally, it has been a static list or documentation. However, with the evolving dynamics of curbs involving various agencies, private-sector collaborations, and evolving demands, there's a need to move beyond this static approach. A digital curb inventory, for instance, serves as a tool for cities to visualize, analyze, and continuously update curb strategies and regulations. It facilitates communication with the private sector, enabling them to effectively manage commercial delivery fleets, designate parking spots for scooters, and guide real-time ride-hailing operations.
