| summary |
North American cities embraced a range of tactical strategies to proactively reinvigorate urban street life during the pandemic. However, it is still largely unknown whether such programs contributed to changed mobility choices, including increased use of cycling and walking. This study uses Toronto's CaféTO program as an example to examine how the design metrics of tactical curbside cafés can attract people commuting through bikeshare systems and increase street vitality. Employing linear regression analysis and spatially varying coefficient regression models, it reveals the impact of curbside café programs on spatiotemporal bikeshare travel patterns. The results indicate that both the dimension of the patios and the number of cafés can significantly influence ridership, but the impact on weekends is generally higher than on weekdays. The effectiveness of such tactical programs demonstrates their potential to solicit active travel and health-improving behaviours. This research is the first empirical study that offers insights into the spatially varying effects of café design properties and calls for tailored and site-specific policies to enhance bikeshare use and develop more sustainable urban environments. |
