Evaluating Your Curb & Parking Management Vendor: A Procurement Checklist for City & Decision-Makers

Kim Wan — Fri, 01 May 2026 15:20:16 GMT

Modern curb management is infrastructure, not a simple — not a utility service. It shapes mobility, safety, municipal revenue, and equity outcomes across your community. The vendor structure you choose determines not just who does the work, but who is genuinely accountable for how it performs.

Beyond One Vendor, Part 3 - When Incentives Drift: What Cities Should Know About Vendor Consolidation and the Cost of Misaligned Incentives

In Parts 1 and 2 of this series, we established why modern curb systems require a structured ecosystem rather than a consolidated vendor, and why genuine accountability, rooted in structural clarity, is the foundation of long-term program performance.

Beyond One Vendor, Part 2: The Accountability Gap. The Structure of Your Vendor Relationship Matters.

In Part 1 of this series, we explored how the curb evolved from a procedural service into critical public infrastructure. That shift requires a more sophisticated delivery model than either a consolidated mega-vendor or a loose collection of specialists can provide. We introduced the three-layer architecture: specialized execution partners, ecosystem governance, and the deep generalist advisor at the center.

For most of the past century, parking management was treated like a utility. Meters required maintenance. Citations needed issuing. Notices needed mailing. Permits needed approval.

How to Future-Proof Your City’s Parking Strategy Without Adding More Tech

Kim Wan — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 19:59:18 GMT

Cities everywhere are under pressure to modernize parking and curbside systems, often with shrinking budgets and rising public expectations. But real progress rarely comes from buying “more tech". It comes from making current systems work together, work smarter, and work in ways that change real-world behavior. That is where future-proofing begins.

At its core, a future ready parking and curbside strategy aligns people, policy, and technology so that every decision is rooted in outcomes: safety, fairness, compliance, and financial integrity.

How Digital Curbside Technology Is Transforming Parking Operations

Kim Wan — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 16:51:31 GMT

For years, the phrase “digital curb” lived mostly in planning documents, conference panels, and future-forward mobility conversations. It described an urban vision where every parking space, sign, rule, loading zone, EV space, and time restriction could be represented as structured, interoperable data.

Today, parts of that vision are becoming real in cities. While maturity varies, the direction of travel is clear: the curb is increasingly treated not just as physical assets but as an information system.

This shift is fundamentally changing how parking and curbside operations work. The digital curb is no longer an abstract future concept. It’s becoming a core part of modern civic infrastructure.

Modernization Without Amnesia: Why the Strongest Systems Are Built Forward, Not Replaced

Kim Wan — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 09:51:28 GMT

Modernization in the public sector is often framed as a clean break from the past. Old systems are labeled “legacy,” and nascent solutions are presented as a fresh start—new technology, new platform, new way of working.

It’s an appealing idea. But for cities, modernization rarely works that way in practice.

The systems that last and deliver better results over time aren’t the ones that wipe the slate clean. They’re the ones that build forward on what already works, using a foundation that understands how cities really operate.
