Podcasts about reinventing parking

Reinventing Parking this time tackles the issue of sidewalk parking (or pavement parking or footpath parking). It features me and several other people from around the world. One lesson is to act quickly if sidewalk parking emerges. Try hard to not let it become a serious problem in the first place! If sidewalk parking does become rampant in an area, there don't seem to be quick and easy answers. But many places HAVE successfully tackled this menace. To a great extent, this is a matter of priorities. Change is certainly possible. But we need to get organized! Read more details here.  Follow Paul Barter on Twitter.

This episode features edited highlights from an excellent panel discussion on parking reform that took place at the YIMBYtown 2022 conference in Portland, Oregon. YIMBY stands for 'yes in my backyard', referring to supporting housing development within existing urban areas, and YIMBYtown was all about abundant housing advocacy. The panel, Parking Reform: from theory to practice, was moderated by Catie Gould of the Sightline Institute. She was in our March 2022 episode. The panelists were: Martha Roskowksi, transportation and mobility consultant in Boulder, Colorado and author of 'Ideas to Accelerate Parking Reform in the United States' John Bauters, Mayor of Emeryville, California and also chair of the Alameda County Transportation Commission and the vice chair of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Tony Jordan, our Parking Reform Network President Leah Bojo, land use consultant, formerly worked on land-use, transportation and parking at Austin City Council, and author of a chapter on Austin's first Parking Benefits District in Donald Shoup's 2018 book, Parking and the City.

Daniel Firth surprised me several times in the latest episode of Reinventing Parking as we discussed Stockholm and its parking policies. I learned in December about Stockholm's pricey residential on-street parking. Sharing about that on social media connected me with Daniel, who turned out to be ideally placed to explain more. It turns out that other cities have much to learn from Stockholm's parking approaches. Read more details here.  Follow Paul Barter on Twitter.

More and more cities around the world have been abolishing their parking mandates. So should we describe parking minimums as "an endangered species" internationally? I tackled that question in the March edition of the Parking Today magazine. With Parking Today's permission, here is the article as a short "extra" Reinventing Parking podcast episode (between our regular monthly episodes).

The Netherlands is less known for parking than for fostering astonishing levels of bicycle use. But Dutch car parking policies and practices really are well worth your attention. To find out more, I interviewed one of the Netherlands' top parking policy experts, Dr Giuliano Mingardo, a senior researcher at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. Don't expect Nirvana. The Netherlands has parking politics and arguments like everywhere else. They are ahead of most others on many aspects but behind on others. It's an interesting story.

Reinventing Parking this time looks at a successful parking reform campaign in Washington DC.  The episode is a lightly edited recording of a Parking Reform Network event on 30 March 2021.  The event featured Cheryl Cort, Policy Director for the Coalition for Smarter Growth which is a non-profit in the Washington DC region.  Cheryl spoke about the long and difficult effort she led to persuade the DC Council to enact a parking cash-out law, the “Transportation Benefits Equity Amendment Act” which passed in April 2020.

"Join the new Parking Reform Network!" was the key message Lindsay Bayley, Jane Wilberding and I had in mind when we planned our discussion for this edition of Reinventing Parking.  But first we tackled links between parking reform and social equity, racial justice and enforcement reform. In light of recent events, we couldn't not talk about them.   Then we turned to parking reform networking.    I enjoyed my conversation with two of the main instigators behind the newly-formed Parking Reform Network. I hope you will too.    Support Reinventing Parking on Patreon. Follow Paul Barter on Twitter. Like Reinventing Parking on Facebook.

I interviewed Patrick Reynolds and Matt Lowrie, two of the bloggers on the Greater Auckland blog in New Zealand’s largest city. It was a wide ranging conversation which will eventually become two Reinventing Transport episodes and one Reinventing Parking episode.  Auckland is a striking example of a rather car dependent city that has actually been changing some of its key trends and taking some remarkable steps towards becoming a different kind of city in which other transport options are steadily improving. This episode focuses on the Greater Auckland blog itself and its role in Auckland’s transport (and planning) policy conversations and debates. It has been amazingly effective and influential. There are lessons for transport activists anywhere.

Episode 7 of the Reinventing Parking podcast looks at Mexico City, which abolished its parking minimums in July 2017.

Paul Barter spoke with Jos Nino Notz about parking policy in Berlin, Germany. It is a mixed story. On the one hand, Berlin boldly abolished its parking minimums more than 20 years ago and has strong parking management in the urban core. On the other hand, parking management, especially enforcement, is weak beyond the core. The reasons for this are surprising. This is Reinventing Parking episode 6.

This is the trailer for the new Reinventing Parking podcast.  The aim of this short episode is to let you know what to expect from future episodes, which will start in a few weeks after this one.  Show notes are at https://www.reinventingparking.org/2018/07/new-podcast-option.html
