We've hit 800 recorded #bike parking spots within the #Dallas city limits. They are fun to find and map, a practical PokΓ©mon GO.
How can you use them? https://rackfinder.app is good, and many cycling apps will show them too, for instance #Geovelo.
Donald #Shoup liked to quip that parking is a fertility drug for cars. Maybe this works for bikes?
The premise of The High Cost of Free #Parking, Shoupβs 800-page magnum opus, is as simple as it is provocative: car parking is nearly always too cheap.
Estimates vary, but each additional parking space adds as much as $20,000, $50,000, or $80,000 to the cost of a project, based on whether it involves a surface lot, above-ground garage, or below-ground garage, respectively.

#Subsidizing #fossilfuels- #Shoupβs basic conclusion: Dedicating so much space to #parking makes #housing more expensive, #traffic more #congested and #airpollution worse.
About 800 #homeless individuals shelter on #Metrorail on any given night, and on average about 555 people experiencing homelessness exit onto city streets at "end-of-line" stations located throughout Los Angeles County, according to a survey released on Thursday, April 27.
