“Gritters stopped by 200 cars double parked on Peak District road. Derbyshire council says crews blocked from gritting roads on Saturday due to double parking at walking spots near Edale.” It’s a shame that poisoning our towns and cities with cars means people have to drive to have a pleasant walk. #Cars #Parking #Walking #Congestion #Pollution

Is there anything more universally satisfying than telling a parking company to .... off.

A little #introduction for a new server:
I am an #attorney working in #municipal #law, specifically including #prosecution, #parking, #traffic #tax, #civilrights, #constitutional law, etc. Municipal law is like practicing every legal field, all the time, all at once. Potpourri law.
I’ve studied international relations and national security/foreign policy extensively. I follow #politics and #election #news extremely closely.
Mayhem is my #dog (see below) and you’ll see her a lot here.

I support Minimum Parking Requirements.
#Bike #Parking that is. At my bookstore, at my school, at my grocery, at my gym.
Imagine your city with fewer #cars
Stel je je stad voor met minder auto's.
Ik steun de minimale parkeervereisten. Voor #Fietsen

After years of my city increasing parking charges and reducing parking spaces justified (in part at least) by promoting modal shift and reducing city centre congestion a new report shows success, with visitor numbers increasing while car numbers in the denture are declining!
But hold the celebrations……
Faced with a £million shortfall in the parking budget, the council is looking at ways to reverse this by making parking cheaper and increasing the number of spaces again
Council has become so hooked on parking revenue that it is ditching a working policy for a green and sustainable city and it is awful to watch this unfurling.
Alameda city council tonight: the swimming pool debate.
Just wrote in comments asking for paid parking and bike parking for parent/kid transport bikes.

Surrounded must certainly have a different meaning in English and Spanish. I don't think a single building dedicated to car parking can "surround" the Dali museum complex. The Dali museum is the most visited private museum in Spain.
The upper floor of the car park is at street level and is used for buses. As it occupies a slope, light vehicles can enter from the lower parts.
It is a useful building in Figueres, the capital of a region that receives many visitors to carry out administrative tasks, shop or go to the doctor.
Perhaps you think they should come on foot, but I do not agree at all with your opinion.
I hope did you enjoied other aspects of our city.
