We Can’t Park in Rutland, Vermont!
Host Scott Graves is joined by fellow Vermont houser Stephen Box of Rutland. Our discussion focused on both the local discussion and a more global look at how parking is affecting housing in all of our communities in the United States. Stephan, a loyal resident recently received a parking ticket in front of his own house due to a winter parking ban (we know you listeners in Florida are scratching your heads). And our city is in the midst of discussion around a greenway parking ban to keep the sidewalks free of cars.
At the local level, how can we craft our parking ordinances to encourage housing growth? And with the global discussion including Minnestota’s 2024 landmark decision to ban parking minimums state-wide, are we at the vanguard of a more sane approach to parking nation-wide?
