Rapid City Considers Motorcycle-Only Parking

In South Dakota, the Rapid City Council is proposing to create a motorcycle-only parking area in downtown during the Sturgis Rally. According to the Rapid City Journal:

The committee's recommendation is to limit Sixth Street to motorcycle parking only between the railroad tracks and the alley south of St. Joseph Street for the duration of the rally. Main and St. Joseph streets would remain open to through traffic, but those portions of Sixth Street would only be open to motorcycles, emergency vehicles and delivery vehicles.

Actually, what these towns ought to do is set aside parking for trailers. A lot of folks I know plan to tow their bikes in trailers to some town close to Sturgis. A city like Rapid City could set aside a huge trailer lot and charge $10.00 a day to each trailer.
