• Governing Parking Principles talked about
• The College should seek to minimize the number of College-related cars that park on neighborhood streets.
• The College should seek to preserve as much green space as possible (i.e., not overbuild).
• The College should attempt to accommodate the College's parking needs.
• The College should encourage alternative methods of transportation, including biking and walking.
• All parking lots should be tastefully landscaped and adequately/properly illuminated.
• There is no solution that will satisfy everyone, so the answer will likely be somewhere in the middle. (Incremental growth is better in this case because it will ensure that we don't overbuild.
