The current surface lot provides space primarily for VCU med students/faculty. If so, the pressure should fall on the shoulders of VCU, not the private sector. Generally I agree though. The City seems to be allowing rezonings (from M-1 to B-5) for developments which provide little or no parking. I should point out that a proposed development at Main and 21st will also have structured parking for 100% of the units. So there is some offsetting going on.

The new developments at Cedar and Broad & at Cold Storage will be putting pressure on the area AND removing existing surface parking. I wanted to attend and ask about plans for parking for the area.
