Hoboken, New Jersey, recently marked seven consecutive years without a traffic death. Officials there credit their decision to take away some street parking, a change that increases visibility for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

No, get rid of city parking minimums.

Use the land to build more shops, offices, apartments/ homes, and smaller, more general parking garages that hold more cars & actually puts parking where it's needed.

There are better solutions.
