In this clip from public question time, Peter Razos, candidate for Lennox Ward, correctly describes problems with on-street parking in Yarra - people can't find a vacant parking bay, either near their home, or near the business they are visiting. This is a real problem, as many people do need to drive and park. Unfortunately, his focus (bike lanes & trees reducing the amount of on-street parking) isn't the problem or the solution. Yarra doesn't have anywhere near enough space to offer everyone a free on-street parking bay near their destination. Demand for parking is much higher that supply, and the problem is getting worse as our population (both of residents and workers) increases. The solution is to (1) enable many people to walk, bike or use public transport, by allocating space and budget to footpaths, crossings, trees, and bike lanes; and (2) to use demand responsive parking charges, built around digital permits that are linked to a vehicle's number plate. These solutions are described in more detail at: https://lnkd.in/gfX5vpXb https://lnkd.in/gX9BAkF

🚗 **Why Parking Lot Striping Matters (And Why It's a Cost-Effective Upgrade)** 🚗 When it comes to improving the look and functionality of your property, parking lot striping is one of the most affordable upgrades you can make. But beyond aesthetics, it serves several important purposes that can have a direct impact on your business. Here’s why parking lot striping should be a priority: 1. **Enhanced Safety**: Clearly marked lines help guide drivers and pedestrians, reducing the risk of accidents and confusion. Proper striping ensures that vehicles are parked in an organized manner, allowing for smoother traffic flow and safer parking. 2. **Better Organization**: Clear, well-defined parking spaces improve the overall organization of your lot, maximizing space and improving access. It’s an easy way to add order to a potentially chaotic area. 3. **Improved First Impressions**: The appearance of your parking lot reflects the quality of your business. A fresh, well-striped parking lot makes a strong first impression on customers, showing that you care about the details. 4. **Cost-Effective Upgrade**: Compared to other property improvements, parking lot striping is relatively low-cost, yet it provides immediate visual impact. It’s an affordable way to revitalize your lot without breaking the bank. 5. **Compliance and Liability**: In some cases, proper striping is required by law, especially for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance. Staying up-to-date with regulations reduces liability risks. Whether you’re looking to improve safety, increase capacity, or simply make your lot look more professional, parking lot striping is a smart and cost-effective investment. #ParkingLotStriping #PropertyManagement #BusinessUpgrades #CostEffective #SafetyFirst #CustomerExperience

My thoughts on parking as a public good in Planetizen Conclusion A view of parking from the driver’s seat has underpinned the century-old “me, here and now” parking narrative. That narrative overlooks the wider social, environmental, and economic impacts of parking policy. This narrow view has been used to justify parking as a public good and to then justify the extensive public subsidies that provide cheap, easy parking to attract drivers to damaged places that are not worth visiting. Looking forward, creating more equitable, efficient, attractive, and successful places requires that we rethink parking. Rational parking policies that tap the potential of smart, new parking technologies and mobility sharing economies can take us to a better place. In the end, we can find that better balance, one that puts parking on tap, not on top. #rethinkingparking

As I get more involved in helping multifamily developers design how to best provide transportation services and amenities to their prospective and current tenants, it’s important to remind myself and SustainMobility's clients and partners that historical data can only go so far. Transportation data tells an important part of the story in forward looking design, but a developer has many levers it can pull that are in line with local policy changes and consumer trends. Here are my Top 5 reasons why multifamily developers need to design with more sustainable transportation at the forefront. #1. Cost: The price per parking space costs a developer $50k-$100k, depending on the location, and have no other choice but to pass those costs on to renters and buyers, reducing the renter/buyer pool. Shifting the amount of space for car parking over to bike parking/micromobility saves money in development. #2: Parking: There is a massive oversupply of parking in our communities and multifamily developments. The removal of car parking minimums in new developments is helping to right size parking. The hard truth is that parking that is expensive and difficult to find is what actually reduces demand. The space needed for a car to park as compared to a bike is 10 to 1. #3 Car-light lifestyles: Your tenants want to be able to get around without the hassles and expense of owning a car. Introducing car sharing and investing in quality bike parking, and private fleets of micromobility leads to reduced parking and car ownership demand. #4 Carbon Impact: Transportation is the #1 emissions producer in the US, and combined with buildings, is more than ⅔ of all emissions. The real estate sector has a crucial, but often hidden role in supporting this reduction, by designing with sustainable mobility from the beginning. #5 Location: The most sustainable developments are in locations that are not car dependent. When you make an investment to build or rebuild in a walkable, bikeable location with access to transit, it generally translates to a significantly higher value per square foot, and less of your costs are put towards parking. #sustainabledevelopment #multifamily #mixeduse #micromobility #bikes #carsharing #urbandevelopment

Revolutionized Tower Parking: Boosting Parking Efficiency and Convenience: In the fast-paced world of urban development, the requirement for productive and helpful stopping arrangements is more squeezing than any time in recent memory. Customary stopping strategies are frequently inadequate to fulfil the needs of thickly populated urban communities. Enter the tower parking system a progressive methodology that fundamentally supports stopping productivity and comfort. This blog describes about how tower parking systems are changing metropolitan leaving scenes, with an exceptional spotlight on a tower parking system constructed for 22 vehicles in Thrissur Corporation. Understanding Tower Parking tower parking systems are automated parking solutions that utilize vertical space to maximize parking capacity. These systems stack vehicles vertically, much like a multi-story building for cars, allowing for a significant increase in the number of parking spaces within a limited footprint. . . . .
