Blogosphere: MTA Capital Construction now less 'boring'
2nd Avenue Sagas
Earlier this week, the MTA made, in the annals of capital construction, a relatively major announcement. On Wednesday morning at around 7:30 p.m., the final East Side Access TBM came to a stop six feet beneath the LIRR Main Line in Long Island City. The TBM named "Molina" made two runs and will now be scrapped. With its end, for the first time in three years, the MTA has no active tunneling machine boring through the city. ...

Parking Spaces / Community Places: Finding the Balance through Smart Growth Solutions
January 1, 2006|U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
More News & Resources:
When you shop, you may visit a mall, or go to your town’s main street. At the mall, you probably cruise past rows and rows of empty parking, the spaces filled only one day a year. Maybe you head downtown, but can only find vacant storefronts. And where things are bustling, you can’t find convenient parking near the stores you want to visit. All three of these scenarios represent a “parking problem” that has a negative impact on other community goals. At the mall, overbuilt parking consumes land and wastes money. Downtown, storefronts may sit empty because new businesses that would like to move in can’t meet high parking requirements – and too little parking makes good businesses less viable.
