Such a disappointing approach. Impose a temporary governance structure and address refurbishment around activity. We don't close airports when renewing them. We don't need to destroy a third space to improve it. #OttPoli #PlacesForPeople

Shade is critical infrastructure. Look at these photos from Safford, AZ today, with a forecast high temp of 111°F (44C). The conventional parking lot hits a surface temp of 154F (68C) with a 300 yard walk to shade. Traditional development is cooler in both the sun (140F, 60 C) and shade (97F, 37C), with almost continuous shade. I only had to leave shade for short stretches.

Why make shadeless pavement the default in #SaffordAZ ? #Urbanism #shade #placesforpeople #parkingreformnetwork
