So you're saying our parking is overbuilt?

Another way to put it is that a project won't happen in this town w/out it. At least surface lot reduction is improving compared to other cities.

But we don't have to subsidize parking at a higher rate than we do transit.

The big gain would come by shifting subsidies from parking to more frequency on the system.

Cooridors like N. Oak/Burlington are dramatically undeserved by busses. I can go weeks without seeing a bus on it and it has 7 day service.

The North Oak bus runs about once an hour on the weekend. The one time I tried to ride that bus, my first bus was running late and I missed the connection by mere minutes. Never again.
