[Vision2020] Parking Downtown Moscow

[Tom Ivie]

The abandoning of the railroads has created opportunities for Paradise Path.  As the Path is developed, I would think there could be more opportunity for some enhancements which could include some green space and some parking.  Especially parking that is not University controlled.  However, one has to wonder if that parking would be monopolized by students who don't want to buy a parking permit.  Perhaps time limits on the parking?  But would that create an overload for the Parking Enforcement Officer?  Just thinking out loud.

Nils Peterson <nils_peterson at wsu.edu> wrote:  A couple weeks ago or so, Rick Beebe pulled a rezone application for the
south end of downtown -- the issue that came to a head in P&Z was related to
parking. Shortly after Murph wrote an editorial along the lines that we
can'd use parking as a weapon to bludgeon would-be development downtown.

But I just lost a few hours sleep over the issue (blame hot weather for
sleeping with the windows open and listening to the Jake brakes on trucks
coming in from Troy.)

Lets take parking as a serious issue. Lets take the abandoned (or
abandoning) area along the railroads as a real issue, and think about
NewCities recommendation to grow inward (ie the railroad lands).

How can we think about parking, and about the changes in that area of
downtown? How can they help one another? How are they not connected?
