"It’s estimated that there are as much as 2 billion parking spaces in the US alone and a third of them are in parking lots! That’s over 42 billion square feet of space..."
That seems to be off by about a factor of 5 - or it is too late for me to do math. The article seems to be using 21 sqft per space. A typical space might be 8'x14' or 112 sqft each.
If we can eliminate some parking spots that will free up alot of space for something else.
- nkoren 9y agoThat's roughly correct for on-street parking. In a parking lo or garage, the parking space + associated room for lanes and turnarounds works adds up to about 330 sqft per space.
