Deep dives
Origin of Parking Reform Efforts in Minnesota
The podcast discusses the origins of a historic statewide parking reform bill in Minnesota spearheaded by legislative assistant Chris Meyer and Senator Omar. Chris's advocacy for parking reform dates back to 2010 after reading Donald Shoup's book 'The High Cost of Free Parking', leading to successful efforts in Minneapolis and beyond. The bill, known as the Minnesota People Over Parking Act, aims to eliminate minimum parking mandates statewide for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
