Every so often when reading an obituary of someone, or an awards citation, you realise that you have internalised their work into your thinking without having read it directly. So it was with Donald Shoup, the California transport academic who spent his life working on the problem of urban parking, and who died in February.
Donald was featured on episode 98 of The War On Cars podcast, and it’s worth a listen.
And the concept of “free parking” during holidays is awful, and I love the idea of still charging for parking on holidays, but using the revenue to help the homeless or other disadvantaged local groups in the community.
