#parkingreform — Public Fediverse posts

It's a start, but we need to make #drivers pay to #park their massive #vehicles in #NYC, where #publicspace is at a high premium https://gothamist.com/news/new-yorkers-share-thoughts-on-alternate-side-parking-shame-stickers My #YouTube video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfJWSN-XKys&t #brooklyn #paris #climate #parkingreform #airquality #cars

Begs the question of why #Mamdani has not made ONE CALL to #DOT to push for #parkingreform, like #Paris https://gothamist.com/news/blood-on-the-streets-mamdani-has-a-vision-zero-crisis My #YouTube video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfJWSN-XKys&t #Brooklyn #cycling #bicycle #climate #airquality #NYC

For those working in private sector - do you get a free parking or fuel cost support from the company? #transportation #commute #urbanism #parkingreform

Ten is "Policies and investments needed for parking demand management" We have a ton of work to do here and a troubling lack of information on what we have done and are doing. Thankfully there has been huge progress on this in the field in the last fifty years to learn from. #ParkingReform #Shoupista https://parkingreform.org/resources/cookbook/

Quite a timeline, though unfortunately culminating in 2026 with a very non-committal "it's not a no" in terms of #parkingreform https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/06/09/nyregion/nyc-parking-cars-history.html And yet we could get said #parking reform with ONE CALL to #DOT my #YouTube #video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfJWSN-XKys&t #mamdani #climate #cars #pollution #airquality #socialism

@TheOverheadWire “Another way cities are cutting back on pavement is by dropping regulations that require a minimum number of parking spaces for new residential or commercial buildings. Buffalo, New York; Austin, Texas; and Minneapolis are among the cities that have changed these policies in recent years.” #ParkingReform #zoning

#Irony? Whatever the case, #Brooklyn is being swamped with MORE #cars, not less, thus ensuring we will never be #Paris https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/08/americans-without-cars-driving-dominated-country?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other My #video here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WfJWSN-XKys #climate #airquality #mamdani #parking #parkingreform

Ok, but who's discussing #parkingreform so we can be like #Paris? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/nyregion/nyc-speed-limiters-cars-frequent-speeders.html #Zohran we can do this with just one call to the #DOT my #YouTube #video here https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/nyregion/nyc-speed-limiters-cars-frequent-speeders.html #climate #cars #brooklyn

Good start but we need massive #parkingreform, like #Paris https://secretnyc.co/nyc-empire-trash-bins-expanding-new-neighborhoods/?shem=dsdf,sharefoc,agadiscoversdl,,sh/x/discover/m1/4 My #YouTube #video here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WfJWSN-XKys&t #containerization #brooklyn #climate #mamdani #socialism

Very good #Zohran, but what about going a step further and getting the #DOT to embrace #parkingreform, just like #Paris?

https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9f88x32n “parking construction costs have risen substantially faster than inflation since 2012 and that required parking can account for a large share of total project costs—adding tens of thousands of dollars per housing unit and, in some cases, increasing total construction costs by more than 50%” #ParkingMandates #housing #zoning #WarOnCars #Shoupista #ParkingReform #inflation #shortage

There is a helpful roundup here of the big housing bills being considered this year in expensive Virginia. I am optimistic that many of these will finally pass this year after many years of debate and indecision. https://www.reddit.com/r/Virginia/s/DednetFyBd #housing #Virginia #VALeg #YIGBY #YIMBY #inflation #shortage #homelessness #displacement #ParkingReform

We OPPOSE the surface parking lot proposal at 3116 Park Ave in the Peterboro-Charlotte Historic District. As @detroitparking, we advocate for people-first downtowns.

Surface lots degrade historic character, compromise pedestrian safety and waste land that could be housing or community amenities.

We urge the Commission to DENY this proposal and prioritize solutions that enhance our neighborhoods' historic fabric and vitality.

#Crunch time #Zohran are we going to institute #parkingreform like #Paris and reduce cut-through #traffic like #London while reducing #parking #impunity?

What about #parkingreform #Mamdani we need to de-incentivize #car use and transform #NewYork to be more like #Paris where they charge $20 an hour in downtown, thereby improving #airquality https://nysfocus.com/2025/11/05/zohran-mamdani-climate-change-cost-of-living-free-buses-hochul #climate #climatechange

Parking minimums are outdated for dense, 381-dwelling units.

Even the city's reduced minimum of 420 spaces, down from 484 (1. 27sp/unit) for West Peak will lead to more congestion, pollution, and lower affordability.

This condo is next to a bus route, bike lane, is walkable distance to several supermarkets, and has indoor bike storage.
