Further, there may be concerns from the neighbouring communities on the number of vehicles that will be required to park on the streets within their surrounding residential. Therefore, the policy should be applied systematically beginning with broad boulevards in LA to thwart the perceptions that some neighbourhoods or businesses are targeted for unfair treatments. Another possibility to overcome opposition is to install the parking metres within the surrounding residential communities (Knill and Tosun, 2012: 47-48). Those above should target visitors as long as the revenues accrued are allocated to benefit the residents through public improvement initiatives, for instance, creating pocket parks, burying utility lines and repairing sidewalks. The above idea of taxing visitors for parking on residential streets has the potential of creating enthusiasm within the surrounding neighbourhoods hence creating a win-win situation. However, the implementation of the policy requires two steps. The initial step is an identification of the congested and main arterial thoroughfares. Specifically, those allowing curb parking during the peak hours. Similarly, an evaluation should be done on the corridors that are associated with primary bus services in LA to enable the creation of bus-only lanes. Secondly, there should be a systematic implementation of the curb parking restrictions to facilitate the creation of bus-only lanes in the merited spaces. Additionally, it is important for the county policy actors to advocate for policies that will ensure paired one-way street network in the high-volume corridors. The public policy will help in increasing road capacity since there will be no need for the median strip (Kane and Bishop, 2002:27). In any case, it can be turned into a travel lane. Additionally, the initiative has the potential of reducing traffic delays by allowing progressive timing in signals in the travel direction hence making it faster and easier in negotiating left turns. Besides, the construction of bicycle lanes and bus-only lanes on the one-way streets systems is necessary. However, the possible obstacle for the initiative is that local businesses may recommend two-way streets that have slow moving traffic to enable them to attract potential customers. Similarly, the owners of the surrounding residential may worry of increased cut-through traffics specifically, when the vehicles intend to backtrack. Consequently, they may worry about the high travel speeds that have the potential of diminishing their pedestrian environment by introducing safety risks. Nonetheless, public participation should be conducted and explanation given as to why the benefits of the initiative far outweigh the potential drawbacks.
