From Sunnyvale Cool:
How have parking practices shaped our cities and transportation choices? How much does parking really cost? What are the trade-offs in providing too much or too little parking? How can parking requirements be set based on empirical data? What are other cities doing to update parking practices and what are the results? What strategies and policies can be considered to make parking requirements more flexible?
Brian Canepa, Principal at NelsonNygaard Transportation Consulting, brings an analytical eye to parking practices that so often go unexamined.
