- cnorthwood 5y agoBuilding more parking doesn't solve the issue of congestion, it just makes it worse.
- dazc 5y agoTrue, I used to have an office in small town centre with both cheap parking (£1.20 for 2 hours) and free parking (for 1 hour). The streets are gridlocked every day with people driving into the centre looking for an elusive 'free' space. Whenever I complained people would say it was necessary to bring trade into the town despite the fact that half the shops had already closed down.

The mall has been replaced, but the parking structure lives on.[2] [1] https://arlingtonhistoricalsociety.org/2017/11/a-parkington-christmas/ https://arlingtonhistoricalsociety.org/2017/11/a-parkington-...
