A recent city council meeting in Hartford, CT concerning increasing the city’s car parking tax features an illuminating exchange between a city councilor and a car parking operator<\/a> as well as top-notch testimony by Parking Reform Network advisor, Norman W. Garrick<\/a>. Joe Cortright at City Observatory makes a strong case that Hartford residents are already bearing an unfair burden to support parking lots and it’s past time for them to pay their own way<\/a>. The issue will come back to Hartford City Council next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week’s big parking reform news was South Bend, Indiana’s city-wide elimination of minimum parking car requirements<\/a>. Across the Atlantic, new homes without car parking in Christchurch, England will also be allowed.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a comprehensive post about the True Cost of Car Ownership<\/a>. Streetsblog’s Ben Guttman says NYC’s Next Mayor Must End [The] Addiction to \u2018Free\u2019 Parking<\/a>. A similar opinion is shared<\/a> by a group called People Protected in San Francisco. But not everyone thinks charging for car parking is fair, particularly not Britain’s NHS workers during the pandemic.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Des Moines, IA is bailing out a developer’s “substantially complete” parking garage<\/a>. Prince George, BC is embroiled in controversy over a parking garage which is over budget<\/a>. A Minneapolis, MN bus rapid transit project’s price tag is going up by $70 million, to build more parking<\/a>. One might come to the conclusion that new car parking is too expensive and risky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philadelphia, PA is the site of the TV show “Parking Wars,” perhaps because the city’s parking authority collects twice as much revenue in parking tickets than in meter fares<\/a>, as pointed out in this very interesting post. In Trenton, NJ, the city’s parking authority is suing the city for trying to remove commissioners for corruption<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bozeman, MT is hoping to move forward on more downtown parking management<\/a>. Residents of Fargo, ND are worried that there’s not enough student car parking at the high school<\/a>. The city of Natick, MA has renegotiated a parking lot lease that has lost money in recent years<\/a>. And the cost to park cars at Muskegon, MI beaches is going up<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 480 foot tall residential tower, with no new car parking<\/a>, inches closer to reality in downtown Los Angeles and in the city’s port town of San Pedro, 48 affordable homes are planned with no on-site car parking<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A NYC proposal to pay residents to report parking violations is meeting some resistance on concerns it might cause fights among New Yorkers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a tale of two cities bike parking efforts. Chicago, IL has been adding hundreds of new bike parking racks<\/a> in response to more Chicagoans biking during the pandemic. New York City, on the other hand, has failed to meet its own goals for adding secure bike parking facilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
