Release the Parking Brake on Your Community »
2023 Fall Conference, September 29, 2023 1:30 pmParking is the most important of the boring topics on earth. It occupies more than 25% of our land. Parking affects how streets look and feel, a city’s fiscal health, the affordability of housing, how people choose to get around, and business profitability. Hear how some cities have started to vary parking requirements based on different contexts, avoiding a one-size misfits all citywide approach. This is a hot topic and a lot of new thinking and research is actively being explored, including a new "parking modernization" from Utah's transportation agencies.
