Could motorcycles double up in spots in Long Beach?

Summertime, and the living is easy. That is, of course, unless you’re looking for a parking space in Long Beach, especially on East or West Broadway.
What makes finding a space a bit of a challenge? Quite a few spaces are occupied by motorcycles. They, of course, have the right to park!
I’ve asked the city manager and the police commissioner whether they would consider setting aside a parking area specifically for motorcyclists, or have motorcyclists double up in single spaces to create more spaces for cars.
Perhaps this is a solution worthy of consideration in the short term, during summer?
