Come on Baltimore, don't be put to shame by Columbus Ohio...

Columbus Ohio,

High gas prices have made the two-wheeler more popular. So much so, the City of Columbus is making room Downtown, in the Short North and Brewery District for new parking areas. The first signs went up Wednesday morning along Gay Street between Third and High.
"You're going to fit about 10 scooters or six motorcycles in a space that was designated for one car," Martineau said.
The city plans to test the program for a year with free parking.
Martineau's husband, Eric, says scooter and motorcycle riders simply wanted a legal place to park.

Already 10 other major US Cites including Washington DC have taken similar measures.

Heh. Columbus is a much more progressive city than most people realize. Just because we're in the middle of Ohio doesn't mean we have a whole lot in common with the rest of the state. ;)
