Excerpt from Parking and Traffic Study, Shelby, N. C Two basic requirements of the automobile must be considered in any program to help revitalize Downtown Shelby. Autos need streets on which to move and spaces in which to be stored or parked. In Shelby and in most cities, both of these fundamental requirements are being only partially met by fitting the function of each into the existing grid street pattern. In trying to serve both functions the downtown street system serves neither with efficiency. To meet the needs of today, the downtown area needs a street system which is designed to move vehicles without the interference of pedestrians, conflicting through city traffic, or ad verse turning movements. In addition to this, auto mobile storage should be provided in off-street lots, conveniently located with respect to the main shopping stores, and the major traffic streets. This report is a study of the parking and traffic circulation system presently being used within the Shelby Central Business District. It is being prepared concurrently with a preliminary design plan for the business district. The major emphasis in this report will be centered on exist ing traffic and parking conditions, their deficiencies and possible solutions. The central business district preliminary design plan, using information from this study, locates future parking facilities and indicates future major thoroughfares that are consistent with the overall central business district objectives.

Donald Shoup brilliantly overcame the challenge of writing about parking without being boring in his iconoclastic 800-page book The High Cost of Free Parking. Easy to read and often entertaining, the book showed that city parking policies subsidize cars, encourage sprawl, degrade urban design, prohibit walkability, damage the economy, raise housing costs, and penalize people who cannot afford or choose not to own a car. Using careful analysis and creative thinking, Shoup recommended three parking reforms: (1) remove off-street parking requirements, (2) charge the right prices for on-street parking, and (3) spend the meter revenue to improve public services on the metered streets. Parking and the City reports on the progress that cities have made in adopting these three reforms. The successful outcomes provide convincing evidence that Shoup’s policy proposals are not theoretical and idealistic but instead are practical and realistic. The good news about our decades of bad planning for parking is that the damage we have done will be far cheaper to repair than to ignore. The 51 chapters by 46 authors in Parking and the City show how reforming our misguided and wrongheaded parking policies can do a world of good.

In 1967 FHWA recommended that the HRB committee on parking develop a new publication to update and revise BPR's 1956 publication, "Parking guide for cities." In the present study, the committee attempts to view parking across the entire spectrum from the home to the central business district. Eight major topics are addressed: parking characteristics, zoning, parking programs, parking studies, location and design, operation, parking at transit stations, and curb parking. The three appendices comprise a glossary of terms, legal aspects of parking and public use, and change-of-mode facilities.
