Eyes on the Street: The Bike Corral Has Arrived in Park Slope
On her way into the office this morning, Streetsblog development manager Christa Orth spotted some fluorescent safety vests as she pedaled up Brooklyn's Fifth Avenue.

One parking space is being replaced with room for about eight bikes -- or as Gorilla might call them, seven new customers.
New York's first bike corral was installed last summer. Now it looks like the treatment is really starting to spread.
Here's a look at the finished bike corral, courtesy of Gorilla:
