^^^^I agree.
And who knows, maybe PPA will learn the lesson. As we speak, i'm looking outside my window down onto the corner of 17th and JFK where the scooter only spots have been designated, and there are exactly zero bikes there.
About 50 yards away, near the corner of 18th and JFK, surrounding the Suburban station entrance is a pile of bikes, (almost sloppy looking) parked for free for the day.
PPA/The City should have at least had the foresight to offer the spots for free as an introductory promotion. Keep them free for a year or so, allow people to figure out locations and ease of use--then if demand begins to swell, charge a very small fare for 12 hour parking (like $.50).
