(Reinventing Parking, Jul.4, 2011)
Today’s focus is on the perceived problem of spillover parking which could be treated as an opportunity rather than a curse - if parking rates were raised like traffic, according to demand.
Key Quotes:
“Spillover parking is nuisance parking that takes place outside a motorist's actual destination. And fear of Spillover Parking is central to all conventional parking policy”
“local governments all over the world enact costly regulations (minimum parking requirements) to make sure all premises have enough parking”
“the neighbours of a development with a full parking lot are not helpless victims. We CAN prevent parking that we don't want. Or we could welcome it and price it (and maybe even profit from it).”
“Parking outside some of your destinations is the whole idea of a park-once district where motorists walk to various destinations after parking anywhere in the area”
