As usual, I learned so much from this post. Thoughts: Decades ago, Portland, Oregon decided that all parking lots had to underground, with a park on top. This could address the needs of those who can't walk or bicycle *and* the trouble of parking spaces hogging curb space. Of course those underground garages would have elevators. Cities and towns need to be both walk/bike friendly, to coax able-bodied peopleout of their cars, at the very least for the sake of the environment *and* must absolutely attend to the needs of those who are dependent on cars for mobility.
Cities need MORE parking for the vehicles that people with disabilities use, since they are often not part of the walking/biking population.
