Rob's response answers my question. I was a little concerned because Chuck's comments seemed indicate that the University *might* add a few parking spaces as long as they didn't increase certain ratio of parking spaces to employees or floor space or whatever. But Rob's answer is unequivocal, and I'm reassured.
(Also, I'd forgotten that Rob Kennedy is the campus transportation planner. Rob has a long history of transportation activism. Obviously, as a lowly planner, he doesn't have the last word on UW decisions about parking and transportation, but his presence on the staff is a sign, at least, of good intentions.)
