The first in a series of posts describing the work of PRN Research Intern Andrew Kiefaber on our efforts to compare the parking policies of various cities<\/a> has been posted, check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big news last week<\/a> was the vote in Berkeley, CA to eliminate most of the city’s car parking requirements<\/a> and implement maximums in much of the city. Patrick Siegman ponders why Berkeley (and many other cities) required blind people to purchase car parking<\/a> spots. Will Toronto, ON be the next city to eliminate car parking<\/a> requirements? Dan Bertolet at Sightline details two bills in Washington state which could lead to widespread parking reforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evidence against required car parking continues to mount. A recent study from UC Santa Cruz and UCLA researchers<\/a> shows a strong correlation between building parking spaces and excess auto ownership<\/a>. Another study, this one based in Chicago, concludes that car parking requirements hold back development<\/a> at transit oriented locations. So what to do? This thread explains work in Washington, DC to evaluate transit-oriented housing projects for overabundant car parking<\/a>, developers who choose to build excess car parking have to pay for additional mitigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vancouver, BC may expand car parking permits<\/a> to all residential neighborhoods. Charleston, SC will allow businesses on historic King St. to expand their operations without expanding their car storage supply<\/a>. Ann Arbor, MI is exploring options to allow larger residential buildings, likely with less car parking,<\/a> outside of downtown. Albany, NY will use eminent domain to force the sale and redevelopment<\/a> of several “Parking Lot District” parcels. And the first multi-family housing development with no car parking<\/a> in Austin, TX has broken ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transportation for America has been studying how COVID-19 impacted curb management<\/a> and how cities adapted. Citizens in Pasadena, CA are angry about the prospect of losing free car parking<\/a> in public garages. But in North Carolina, paid car parking is going coastal at a trio of beach towns: Surf City<\/a>, North Topsail Beach<\/a>, and Beaufort<\/a>. Further south, in Jacksonville, FL the city council has approved $3.5 million to assist in the building of a parking garage. The deal facilitates a plan to redevelop prime waterfront land that currently is a parking lot<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, in parking enforcement news, a class action suit in Montreal, QC alleges that the parking meters deceptively overcharged<\/a> city residents. And hazardous car parking in Ahmedabad, India is blocking streets and sidewalks, residents want a resumption of a citywide car parking crackdown which had previously brought the problem under control<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
