This might be an unpopular opinion but I feel like public parks should have less parking or smaller parking lots. Having a big lot destroys the very nature people are coming to enjoy. I’ve also noticed it leads to people just driving to the park and not even getting out of their cars. I’ve seen so many people just eating lunch in their cars by themselves, it’s so sad.
that only works well if public transit can pick up the slack, otherwise people will, ya know, have trouble getting there.
The ideal solution is to have more parks. When there’s many parking lots there will many people too. Sometimes even crowded.
The ideal solution is never the one that makes it to production. However, cutting off most park-goers due to your internal hatred for automobiles is about as far from ideal situation as you can get.
It’s a careful balance. I’ve seen parks where the locals can’t find a spot because the park is crowded from people coming by cars. Just a little sane planning is all I ask.
So what you are saying, is that too many people are using the parks, and as a local that makes you upset because you can’t find a spot(?) Seems to me that having parking is making the park MORE successful. You need bigger parks.
I’d rather have more local parks where people can go by foot, than one large park where people need to drive.
Also, I wouldn’t count overcrowded parks as a success.
Still doesn’t sound like cars are the problem here, it’s the lack of parks in general that is causing issues.
You don’t say?
