UCLA on marking minimums

UCLA Center for Parking Policy: Minimum Parking Requirments - A Research Synthesis

Eliminating minimum parking requirements does not eliminate the environmental, social, and economic harms of parking, but it can reduce their severity. Research indicates that the early effects of repeal are modest rather than dramatic. After requirements are lifted, drivers make more efficient use of existing parking infrastructure, and developers also continue to supply new parking. As a result, the total number of spaces and vehicles citywide may continue to grow while the number of parking spaces per capita declines over time. Minimum parking requirements exert a long shadow, having been entrenched in U.S. cities for more than 75 years. Even after repeal, cities will be dealing with the legacy of an oversupply of parking for many years to come.

I've only gotten as far as the executive summary, but my takeaway is that we should be probably aggressively pursuing parking maximums, not merely repealing parking minimums.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
