Quotation: Part of the proposal calls for trying to make transit mall stores more visible and reachable by car. The team suggests narrowing sidewalks and moving artwork to make room for a lane of “teaser parking,” a term that suggests just enough curbside spaces to give car-bound shoppers hope that they will be the fortunate ones.

Keep in mind that we're interested in terms that are not well-covered in mainstream dictionaries, or not covered at all. A mass of unexamined Google hits counts for nothing, but an early use of the term you've found in a book or periodical is very useful. A term does not have to be new to be recorded here, it merely needs to be worthy of more attention.
