"If drivers paid for the cost to provide parking, we would use cars more rationally."
This interview about rethinking parking with Donald Shoup -- the planner-famous UCLA professor who wrote The High Cost of Free Parking -- and Jeffrey Tumlin -- from the high-profile consultancy Nelson\Nygaard (it's done work in the Albany area) -- touches on a bunch of topics that routinely come up in discussions here: how much parking there should be, what it should cost, traffic congestion, redeveloping urban centers, and similarities between urban and suburban areas. (Because, as we all know, it always comes back to parking.) [CNU Public Square]
