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?
