[MassHistPres] parking spaces

[Marcia Starkey]

Hello,

The center of downtown Greenfield is working toward redevelopment of seven historic buildings surrounding the town common. The Redevelopment Authority has said that investors require dedicated adjacent parking which in turn requires removal of a significant building for "convenient" expansion of the town parking lot next door. As an area in flux, parking space is now adequate.    

Online information from a state and federal agencies on the question of parking supply seems to say that a number of strategies can be used to make the best use of existing spaces, and control of parking, especially downtown is in municipal 
hands. 

Has anyone experienced redevelopment project failures due to somewhat less than optimum and dedicated parking space?
