Dallas City Council Approves Sweeping Parking Reform in 14–1 Vote

This is awesome!
A brief view of the changes:
- Eliminating parking mandates downtown and within half a mile of light rail and streetcar stations
- Eliminating parking mandates for offices and most retail
- Eliminating parking mandates for residential uses, while maintaining one parking space per unit for developments over 200 units
- Reducing parking mandates for bars and restaurants while removing mandates completely for establishments under 2,500 square feet
- Eliminating parking mandates for designated historic buildings
It still floors me that there are parking minimums for bars.
I know, right?! I go on that same incredulous rant every time an alcohol permit comes up in my community association meeting.
