Senior Dallas City Planner Michael Wade says the parking problem is really a matter of driver habits and expectations that stem from a long-outdated city approach dating back to the 1950s. Now, he says many cities want to turn parking lots back into parks or housing and to encourage other forms of transportation.
The city of Dallas is trying to rethink how much parking businesses really need to provide. Senior Dallas City Planner Michael Wade says the parking problem is really a matter of driver habits and expectations that stem from a long-outdated city approach dating back to the 1950s.
Now, Wade says many cities want to turn parking lots back into parks or housing and to encourage other forms of transportation. While parking is at a premium during peak hours in areas like Bishop Arts and Lower Greenville, some Dallas leaders want the city to rethink the amount required for shops, hotels, and apartment complexes, where they say lots often sit empty.
West says changes to the city's parking requirements could free up some valuable land at six DART stations.
