Whatever happened to the Beacon street project? I haven't heard anything about it in a while. Anyway, a page about various studies of the effect on businesses of replacing curb parking with bike lanes. Answer: not much. Businesses regularly overestimate how many of their customers come by car; bikers do often spend less per trip in grocery or cart-away shopping, but make more trips. http://www.citylab.com/cityfixer/2015/03/the-complete-business-case-for-converting-street-parking-into-bike-lanes/387595/?utm_source=SFFB
