In reply to David. Hi David, we are only mapping the Central Business District zoning districts of the cities right now. This way we can compare the cities efficiently.

Looks like the boundaries of the core city in Phoenix should be expanded northward to include the Roosevelt Row arts/entertainment district (i.e. northward to the I-10 between Seventh Street & Seventh Avenue). This area is the most vibrant section of downtown and is well served by the metro region’s light rail system.

Hi Ben, I completely agree. I’ve been trying to figure that out, but I haven’t be able to yet. If you or anyone can help with this give me an email at thomascarpenito@parkingreform.org!

It would be useful to add the city names to each dot in the plot and curve graphic. I was curious about which cities were at which areas on the curve.

In reply to Thomas Carpenito. Thanks Thomas. I was confused on what the chart represents. When clicking into each city, you do show that Milwaukee has more space for parking overall. However, it’s compared to smaller cities with more parking generally than Philly. So the chart shows Milwaukee fares better compared to peer cities than Philly, not that it has less space devoted to parking overall.

Hi William. For Milwaukee the boundary is mostly all the downtown zoning districts (C9) and for Philadelphia its primarily the central core zoning district (CMX-5).

Hi Brad! We do the maps primarily by hand if unmapped in OpenStreetsMaps, if you want to add any neighborhoods in the 277 inner loop in Charlotte, South of Central Park and North of 14th Street in NYC, or South of Dupont and Logan Circle in Washington DC feel free to. Here are some instructions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zkdJOf0GWJPLXuNRX8FdMbTHkyBArEOQh3CIuAtTeGM/edit

In reply to Thomas Carpenito. Good to know. If you look at the stats, you'll see that Greensboro has close to 33% of downtown devoted to parking, and yet the downtown improvement organization is always pressing for more. Of course they are heavily lobbied by developers who have purchased properties, which can be turned into paid parking until someone comes along in need of a lot to build on. Meanwhile, there have been somewhat secret meetings about using tax payer money for unneeded venues or sports facilities, either on these current parking spaces or after bull dozing buildings.
