The downtown library has a lot of books on the environment and urban design. I don't recall any of those books saying that cars were good for the natural or human environment...So why encourage people to drive their cars downtown by building a heated parking garage into the library?
Why is it that our elected officials always ask us to not take our cars downtown on "B-Bop Day", or whatever it's called ...then turn around and lavish millions on infrastructure to making it easier for people to drive downtown? Maybe our elected officials should spend a little time reading some books on the subject of cars in the urban environment. I suggest Jane Holtz Kay's "Asphalt Nation" and James Howard Kunstler's "The Geography of Nowhere"....both available at the downtown library.
