By a 10-1 vote, Austin city council has initiated action to remove all parking mandates except accessible parking. The process will take about six months. #atxcouncil #noparkingmandates

Just talked to our members and partners in Austin, TX to congratulate them for the city council voting 10-1 to eliminate parking mandates citywide! There’s still work to be done to pass the implementation, but this is a momentous step forward.

New Houston Law Requires 10 Parking Spaces For Every Parking Space

This seems like a joke, but it’s actually the truth… A single parking space serves no purpose. It needs a partner at every possible destination. More parking leads to even more parking and ever wider, deadlier, and more expensive roads in between.

There are 3 million free parking spaces in New York City. Losing just 5% of them in exchange for a cleaner city is a no brainer.

*NEW* Could New York City finally get trash containerization like other big cities across the globe? The Adams administration says it’s possible, but would require losing 150,000 parking spots: nyti.ms/41YFrYF

‘Paved Paradise’ Review: Why Downtown Is All Parked Up

‘Much of “Paved Paradise” is devoted to those working to reverse this course: disruptors helming parking-related startups, grassroots activists and some farsighted government officials.’

wsj.com

Well-meaning city planners wanted to keep older urban centers competitive with suburbs. Their solution: mandate plenty of parking.

If I understand this correctly, #Montana is about to pass statewide parking reform. In cities & towns with > 7000 people, multiple-unit dwellings will once again be legal in all commercial zones. Parking mandates for these homes will be limited to no more than 1 space/home. /1

Quote Tweet

@WNNProHousing

The "Montana Miracle" continues. Now both chambers of its legislature have passed: - SB 245, legalizing apartments & mixed-use in all commercial zones & limiting city parking mandates to 1 space per home - SB 528, legalizing 1,000 sq ft ADUs with no poison pills statewide.

Please please please let's STOP doing Predict-and-Provide parking studies like this one in Fayetteville. Building subsidized parking is the last thing downtowns need. There are dozens of downtown-enhancing strategies to try before we even consider boosting parking supply.

Could all of the land that KCMO devotes to parking be transformed into places people might enjoy more? Sure! But isn’t it way better to have…(checks notes)…at least eight potential places to stash every registered vehicle on the road? (HT CivicGraphicsDesign,
