So there must be a formal agreement.cdc guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158467536239735339.post-6137270545455968192010-03-25T21:00:09.282-08:002010-03-25T21:00:09.282-08:00Thanks for the observation cdc guy.

Are you saying these would be good potential solutions, or they are already operating as such?<br /><br />I appreciate the observation of potential parking lot sharing agreements in non-downtown settings that still have a generally high density of buildings and low ratio of surface lots in proportion to demand.<br /><br />The Lewisburg example seemed distinctive to me because the signage specifically promotes the parking, confirming the existence of a formal arrangement between the City and church, even if no money changed hands.AmericanDirthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600555386886915000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158467536239735339.post-22075073606707872632010-03-25T05:37:27.239-08:002010-03-25T05:37:27.239-08:00This solution exists in Indianapolis' Irvingto...This solution exists in Indianapolis' Irvington district (whether formally or informally, I am not sure) near the Lazy Daze coffeehouse and the Public Library. Both have adjacent churches that obviously don't have weekday use.<br /><br />The situation also exists in Bexley, Ohio around Christ Lutheran Church on Main Street. Again, I am not sure if it is a formal or informal arrangement.<br /><br />I haven't spent enough time in Broad Ripple on weekend nights to know whether the churches there have monetized their parking assets, but it would seem a sensible arrangement. Even the Kroger lot there goes to "pay parking" at night.cdc guynoreply@blogger.com
