Fact: Parents still complain about finding parking during soccer games even when it is free.

Big changes on offstreet vehicle storage. Storage in front has gone from banned entirely to "Up to 2 units Driveway only" and banned for more than two homes. Side storage regulations are the same instead of allowed in all cases. #parkingreform

In #PavedParadise, @henrygrabar reminds us that several ITE leaders have denounced how its parking demand estimates have been used.

“We expected you to be smart!” says one former VP.

“Nobody on the ground knows ITE has changed their tune,” adds Daniel McKenna-Foster.

@BenRossTransit “The more spaces that cities require for cars, the greater the need for cars,” because the extra lots create more distance between buildings, making those areas less walkable. Given the impact those surfaces have had on the environment, “it will be looked back on as a horrible mistake.” #climate #urbanism #housing #design #waterquality #parkingreform

I wish people would rush to help a neighbor or unhoused person as fast as they try to get a free car storage spot.

The city of Napa needs to lead with implementing a parking plan will result in more open spaces (turnover) and parking revenue will be reinvested in the downtown core in greening and infrastructure, this increasing the livability and beauty of this crucial area (sales tax). (basically parroting Shoup)

*You would think* that a city that prides itself over quaint neighborhoods would try to calm traffic beyond lowering the speed limit.

I'm talking removing traffic lanes and parking to add greenery, transit lanes and daylighting. Think a village feel.

There seems to be a major disconnect bt SF supervisors, merchant associations and its residents.

Kinda interesting that tedwheeler didn’t say nuthin when BIKETOWNpdx rates went up 50% but he set PBOT’s budget on fire to save drivers from having to pay an extra 80 cents every two hours.

New research suggests cities are moving away from residential parking policies that privilege local residents at the expense of outsiders, toward one that promotes "better urban functioning." Vancouver is one example. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.2023.05.002

Supe Chan, former Supe Fewer and David Heller (Geary Merchants Assoc) will run Geary businesses further into the ground with their regressive, anti-transit policies.

Exploiting the rights of transit riders is despicable.

Geary is also on the High Injury Network but Chan/Fewer/Heller could care less.
