MTWV stands for Motorized Two-Wheeled Vehicle. The City of Columbus, Ohio has started a program that will look at making more MTWV parking available. They are doing it in 2 phases: the first is to put out some parking areas to see how they are recieved and guage the demand, the second will implement those finding with more structured parking with fees. The first phase will consist primarily of "corral" parking: designated boxes inside of which as many MTWVs are welcome to park as possible. Read the short proposal here. It is a fast read, but contains some statistics on MTWV parking in other major cities.
The real news being made here is how fast Columbus City Government has reacted to a call for more parking. A crackdown on parkers in an alley in early June raised the ire of scooterists who organized and demanded dedicated parking. A month and a half later the first spaces were dedicated. Read more about that here.
