The result, the parking structures are bankrupt. <br /><br />Fast-forward 10 years, and Cap'n Transit will be saying, "I told you so" to President Cuomo.The Amateur Transporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004281174306673509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-19536988237591843242012-02-10T01:06:03.019-05:002012-02-10T01:06:03.019-05:00It really depends on how much traffic they can rea...It really depends on how much traffic they can realistically expect. I don't think 2,000 parking spaces are inherently offensive on a line that could get 10,000 inbound commuters.<br /><br />That said, regardless of traffic, transit should aim at developing areas around train stations, instead of keeping them as parking lots. Englewood, where they're planning job-center stops, is fortunately not getting too much parking. But why is dense Palisades Park getting multiple hundreds of parking spots?Alon Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12195377309045184452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-37376484787310621892012-02-09T23:25:06.769-05:002012-02-09T23:25:06.769-05:00Thanks for the heads up about the DEIR.

They have told me before that they are not happy about the parking lot plan either.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027332620204904993noreply@blogger.com
