Parking is something that nearly everyone does on a daily basis, but you probably don’t give it much thought. Where you park has to do with availability, how much time you have, how much you’re willing to pay and a lot of other factors.
Here in Spokane, we just finished a Downtown Parking Study and have a six-year plan and set of recommendations designed to facilitate growth and activity downtown, while making parking more convenient and user-friendly for residents, businesses, employees, and visitors. Findings and recommendations can be found here.
