Sure, this rates high on the Wonk-o-meeter, but this interview with Todd Litman, founder and Executive Director of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute and author of “Parking Management Best Practices,” is worth reading for anyone concerned about parking.

Among some of the gems in this interview are Litman’s “Common misconceptions about planning and parking”:

1. Abundant, free parking is always best for business.
2. It is best to adhere to conventional parking standards.
3. Americans (or Canadians, Italians, English, etc.) have a love affair with their cars. They will never give them up. They will never walk more than 100 steps from a parking space to a destination.
4. Parking management is “anti-car.”
