Some people would vote against tomorrow if there was a slight chance it would be different than today.

It’s just paint and a few signs.

Bezdek Wed, 15 Jun 2011 13:50:08 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/okccentral/?p=6184#comment-33489 I’m in favor of the “back in” parking. Conventional angled parking on Auto Alley will be dangerous. Everytime I park in downtown Norman to go into Forward Foods or Guestroom, leaving feels like I’m risking my life.

Why the Planning Dept isn’t going “all the way” and advocating a truely ingenious urban solution such as this is beyond me. Particulaly as we install real urban design in Project 180. I believe the consultant for P180, Jeff Speck, even recommends “back in” parking in his book. The people involved should make note of this.

Kudos to Slingers for advocating.

Paradigm problem?
