[Mpls] RE: Tragic "misplanning" by Metro Transit

[Eric Meininger, MD]

All it takes is a majority of the residents who's property adjoins 
the street to sign a petition to the city to request a critical 
parking ban. We had the same issue in the Clinton court neighborhood 
with our proximity to downtown and a large public housing tower with 
a woeful minimum of parking space. Parking enforcement was very 
obliging when we called and would ticket and tow cars, usually within 
30 minutes, that didn't display the permit.

Considering that people are now shopping for housing based on 
proximity to the LRT stations, I suspect you'll be getting a fairly 
hefty increase in property value - funded at taxpayer expense. The 
expense of the parking permits is a drop in the bucket compared to 
that.
