Voelpel: City Lacks A Parking Strategy

Dan Voelpel’s column today focuses on one of our favorite topics, Parking!  Parking permits.  Time limits on street parking.  City owned parking garages.  Specifically, he explores the lack of a cohesive city strategy for parking and compares it to Portland.  Ahh… Portland.  His description of our city’s strategy as parking management by ‘squeaky wheel.’  The city makes a policy change.  Somebody then complains and the policy changes again.  As I think about it, this seems to be how we manage a lot of things around here?  I’m curious, with regard to parking, are we doing anything right or will we be flogging this topic for a while?
