Bridgeport’s zoning update comes in the context of a statewide reform effort led by DesegregateCT<\/a> to enact more equitable land use practices. Earlier in 2021, the Connecticut Legislature passed HB 6107<\/a>, and became the 4th state to enact state-level parking legislation, and the first<\/a> to affect all housing, including market-rate apartments not near transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Parking Reform Network is an international organization with a mission to educate the public about the impact of parking policy on climate change, housing, and traffic. The network provides support and a community for activists and practitioners in any field that experiences “parking problems.” Support the network by donating<\/a> or becoming a member<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
