Early Bird Tickets! | Parking And The City
by Mel Marginet 07 Aug '19

07 Aug '19

Greetings, Early Bird tickets are now available for Parking And The City. We want to ensure those on the AT List-serve secure their place for this important upcoming discussion at the reduced rate. Parking plays a fundamental role in how our cities are built and how they function. Learn about new approaches, tested in North America, that support more vibrant, livable cities. Secure your seat to: Parking And The City Rethinking Parking to Transform Our Cities Join us for a conversation about parking with distinguished researcher Dr. Donald Shoup, author of The High Cost of Free Parking and Parking And The City Thursday, October 10th | RBC Convention Centre BOOK NOW <https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/parking-and-the-city-tickets-64697012506> This event will feature a luncheon and keynote from Dr. Donald Shoup, followed by small group activities focused on the local context. - Learn more about how the right cost for parking can impact business zones. - Find out what Parking Benefit Districts are, and how they could benefit your neighbourhood. - Join the discussion about Parking Minimums vs Parking Maximums, and how mandatory parking minimums have fundamentally reshaped our cities. The event will conclude with a mixer, where guests can enjoy a complimentary beverage and converse with Dr. Shoup and each other. About Dr. Shoup Donald Shoup is a Distinguished Research Professor in the Department of Urban Planning at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research has focused on how parking policies affect cities, the economy, and the environment. In his 2005 book, The High Cost of Free Parking, Shoup recommended that cities should (1) charge fair market prices for on-street parking, (2) spend the revenue to benefit the metered neighborhoods, and (3) remove off-street parking requirements. In his 2018 book, Parking and the City, Shoup and his co-authors examine the results where cities have taken this advice. The successful outcomes show that the recommended parking reforms are not theoretical and idealistic but are instead practical and realistic. Shoup is a Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners and an Honorary Professor at the Beijing Transportation Research Center. The Canadian Parking Association gave Shoup its Keate Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Advancement of Knowledge in the Parking Industry. Thank you very much to our Promotional Partner, the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce. Would you like to see your organization recognized as a sponsor for this event?

10 common myths about bike lanes – and why they're wrong
by Beth McKechnie 17 Jul '19

17 Jul '19

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2019/jul/03/ten-common-my… 1. Cycle lanes increase congestion (and thus pollution) 2. Hardly anyone uses them 3. They’re only used by white, middle-class men/commuters 4. They’re bad for business 5. They’re dangerous for pedestrians 6. Cyclists just break laws, so they shouldn’t get lanes 7. How do I carry work tools/a fridge on a bike? 8. We’re not the Netherlands/Denmark 9. They cost too much 10.
