In an ideal world, all the on-street parking in these congested areas would be eliminated in favor of more practical uses - dining, parklets, pickup/dropoff zones, bus lanes, bike lanes, etc.

Remove all the parking up and down 14th St. NW and turn it into this. The double parking by Ubers/taxis/Lyfts/everyone just waiting is unacceptable.

Agreed.

In my fantasy world we remove all the parking meters on busy commercial corridors and replace them with a visible overhead red/green light (like in those parking garages where it tells you where a space is open) with a button. The button turns red to green for 10 minutes, just enough time for a rideshare driver to pick up their passenger or food delivery driver to pick up their order.

Every block gets a tow truck patrol, tow truck sees a red light, your car is gone.

So many restaurants are closing so it would be a waste

I enjoy the outdoor dining, but I don’t enjoy the Uber eats/grubhub/ rideshare drivers blocking all the bike lanes. I would also like to see them remove the cut throat parking in these highly congested areas, and figure out better flows.
