Angus Andrea Grieve-SmithThis evening I had the pleasure of walking down Court Street in New Haven, Connecticut. It's 35 feet across, from the foot of one stoop to another, about the same as West 11th Street in Greenwich Village. Most New York City side streets aren't more than 45 feet wide.What makes this street feel so peaceful and welcoming is that instead of curbside parking, the curbs were lined with planters in the 1960s.<a href="https://urbanists.social/@parkingreform" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@parkingreform</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urbanism</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ParkingReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ParkingReform</a>

Meta-phobic Megan MovedIn another example of how constantly devolving public things off to the private sector is undesirable, the 2nd parking app company UC Davis has gone with has had what is (so far) a two day outage.This means that the already-too-cheap parking at UC Davis has been free for 2 days. If they'd stuck with quarter permits and staffed parking kiosks, they'd still be getting income & effectively encouraging those who can to use pubtrans, cycling, or walking.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ParkingReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ParkingReform</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CarCentrism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarCentrism</a>

Meta-phobic Megan MovedIf you care about subsidy of driving, you should be paying attention to UC Davis. Despite the "Bike Friendly University" award, I couldn't get the union or many of my fellow students to care about the inaccessible cycle racks. What do they care and get politically active about? Cheaper car parking. <a href="https://theaggie.org/2023/12/07/asucd-senate-bill-for-equitable-parking-costs-needs-to-find-alternative-funding/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theaggie.org/2023/12/07/asucd-senate-bill-for-equitable-parking-costs-needs-to-find-alternative-funding/</a>You need to be talking to driving students & asking them why they drive. For many, I suspect it is because of housing issues and poor public transit performance <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ParkingReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ParkingReform</a>

Megan Lynch (she/her)Someone in the dept just announced that people driving cars to work can use pre-tax dollars to pay for the cost of parking. It applies to public transit fares as well, but they only mentioned it for drivers (and not even limiting it to carpooling). With continued driving subsidies like this, UC Davis is really doing its utmost to fight <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a>. 🙄 <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/UCAccessNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UCAccessNow</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/ParkingReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ParkingReform</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/CarCentrism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarCentrism</a>

Yimby EarthNew rule: Car parking must be maintained from direct user fees on the pared cars. No free parking allowed (in cities & suburbs). Yes, including at office parks and strip malls. Pay by the hour, from minute 1. The intake from the parking must cover the cost of constructing the car park, and for the maintenance etc.<a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ParkingReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ParkingReform</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Parking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Parking</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cars</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CarParking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarParking</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urbanism</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/WarOnCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WarOnCars</a>

😀🚲Transportation is half of GHG emissions, and everybody driving 10-20 miles daily is what locks us into car dependence, feeds the oil/auto lobby. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/eBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eBikes</a> aren't a primary part of Climate Urbanism's dense, walkable neighborhoods connected by fast frequent transit... BUT they're the only way to get there from here, to cut the knot and resurrect streetcar suburbs, and grow out of stroads. Bikes subvert the obstacles to <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/parkingReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parkingReform</a>, allowing transit to make sense and housing to densify.
