A couple thoughts:
ReplyDeleteYesterday I walked from a meeting at City HQ to my office in the Harmon (UWT). I had just gotten out of a meeting where the City Manager told me there was a real need for more parking in the downtown core. However, on my walk I passed about a dozen parking lots most of which were half-filled at best. It seems to me, and this has been pointed out by commissioned studies, that Tacoma has plenty of parking... it's just not well marked.
And what about the idea to add angled parking in-between the areas along Pacific Ave that currently have it? There is angled parking from 9th north and in the UWT area. But from 9th to 17th, it's old-school parallel parking. This would seem like an easy way to add parking while making Pacific Ave more pedestrian-friendly.
