Communism! Parking should all be market rate. If it is so valuable let the free market provide it.

no, this would reduce the parking issue because like in other areas where this happens you can dead end one street that runs to Kingston. on that dead end make it all head in parking (like in a parking lot ) which would triple the number of spots.

Car centric planing makes a lot of sense in Wyoming.

The evidence is clear that using car centric planning in mega cities causes a decline in living standards.

The government needs allow the free market to work… on streets that have more walking that driving a road diet should be strongly considered. On none arterial roads that have high foot traffic making one area a pedestrian plaza can reduce non local thru car commuting and make that place a destination rather than a thruway to some where else.

obviously utica or eastern parkway would NOT be a good place for this because those are arterials. this isnt a City wide thing that should happen… only in places that meet a lot of conditions.

As for heavy store deliveries they can be allowed to drive in the plaza, by permit at night between 11PM and 5 AM. Fedex ups amazon can walk just like everyone else.

City wide store deliveries should only be allowed at night so that double parking wont interfere with traffic.

all these solutions are common in other countries.

In fact, technology has grown even further since the car transformation of the 50s and 60s. New understandings of urban design and planning are lightyears beyond the outdated ‘car centric’ view of society.

Calling a world based around people driving personal cars everywhere is like saying we can’t use the Internet to learn Torah and stay connected because that’s a step backwards from the technological leap of the telegraph…
