A parking space at 3rd and F streets and one at 2nd and E streets are just some of the 56 parking spots being removed in downtown Davis.
The street parking spaces are being eliminated to comply with a new state law designed to improve safety for people walking and riding bikes. It now requires a 20-foot-long buffer zone between crosswalks and on-street parking spaces.
Diane Swann has been biking around Davis for 50 years and said the new law will make street intersections safer.
The new safety rules apply to every intersection in California.
Many people in this bike-friendly city support the safety improvements. "I think it's a good idea for pedestrian safety," one woman said.
"I have no problem removing parking spaces," said Jared Winter, a sommelier at the Davis Wine Bar. "I think the overall question is just what is their plan to drive human beings downtown."
The City of Sacramento said it has not yet identified the number of parking spaces it will be eliminating, but in San Francisco, an estimated 14,000 parking spots will be removed.
