Tom Bridge and I talk parking

Here is video of the complete segment from TBD NewsTalk where We Love DC‘s Tom Bridge, Bruce DePuyt and I discussed Jack Evans’ parking comments and whether DC meter rates are too high.

Halfway through, there’s a break and then a reference to some reporting by Sam, which isn’t in the video. Sam did a short segment interviewing people out on the street about parking. Some wanted lower rates, some thought the rates were fine.

One of the people Sam talked to was a shoe repair store owner who said customers in cars couldn’t find spaces nearby to stop in for a few minutes and drop off or pick up shoes. He wanted to see rates that encourage turnover.
