Despair not! Change is afoot!
Houston Rolling Back Parking Requirements
Houston took a step toward becoming an “increasingly urban city” this week when lawmakers put the kibosh on minimum parking requirements in two center-city neighborhoods.
The reform, known locally as “market based parking,” allows developers and business owners to decide how much parking they need at their buildings, rather than conform to an arbitrary number imposed by city law.
The change “will lead to better streetscapes in this transition period of becoming an increasingly urban city, which will help us be greener, healthier and a more walkable Houston,” City Councilmember Karla Cisneros said.
