How much space in your city is dedicated to parking? The Parking Reform Network just published a series of more than 50 maps that lets you find out.
The project is intended to put a fine point on just how much developable land in the US is occupied as space for nonmoving cars, and to provide a tool for advocates as more cities reconsider reforming their parking policies.
