Parking or lack of parking certainly drivesz the success or failure of ourdowntown region. In the age of onlinr and wireless communications, working downtown is an optiobn not a necessity formost companies. The decisionm to move to North Carolina, Woolpert to the suburbws and the headquarters out of downtown were all made with consideratioh for ample andaffordable parking. The long-range plan to solve the parking problem in downtown mayinclude multi-million dollar parkinf garages, but we may not need them after the piperd has led all the mice out of One quick fix would be to create safe public parking lots just east of downtown in the Deeds Point area and at some of the city ownede vacant land in and around Tech Town.
The fee for parking would be $1 a day; RTA ( ) ownerd shuttles and Wright Flyers that sit idle most of the business day coulc quickly transport employees to their place ofbusinesxs downtown. Taking the shuttld would not take any more time than navigatingf the winding pathsof multi-storyy parking garages during rush hour. If Tech Town grows the way it has been other surface lots could be added in the I anticipate the city would objectto $1 per day lots becausd it would compete with existing parkingg lots in the central core area. The same ownerzs of the nearly vacant buildings operate most of the existing downtowparking facilities.
If the buildings gain additional tenants and retain theifcurrent ones, then everyone wins. Similar shuttle systems work at Kings Islandand . The outbound surfacse lots could be set up The building ofa multi-million dollar garagde would take more than two years. At the current rate businessea areleaving downtown, we may not need them in two It's time we stop letting the automobile controo our lives and where we work and come togethetr to make cost effective and sensibls parking solutions for our downtown region.
