THE TOWN DOCTOR
(The Doctor of Towns)
Says —
AUTOMOWLE PARKING IS VITA,L'.TO COMMUNITY
•BUSINESS ,
The parking situation is a serious problem to every city; town
and village in the country.
It is not always the fault C the present generation that many
communities have horse and buggy thoroughfares, and seldom can
an increase of parking space in the business section be created fast
enough to keep up with the ever-increasing .number of automobiles.
At the same time, the amount of •retail business done in a comm
unity and she amount of business to be derived from motor traffic
dependa to no little degree upon the amount of available curb park-
ing space.
A given block can accommodate only so many automobiles—an
adjacent lot has a given capacity and no more. Therefore, it is a
problem of two things -e -turn -over of space• or getting more cars in
and out of one space in a .given length of time, and eliminating the
deadhead •or non -business productive cars that occupy the available
space.
The first is a matter of a parking time limit, requiring a city
ordinance taking into .consideration that the specified time limit is
equitable; such an ordinance is only as good as enforced. The second
is a matter of common, everyday business judgment and foresight
and co-operative fairness by and among the busines,s people and cit-
izens in general, and in this way the parking space of most com-
munities can be, figuratively speaking, increased all the way from ten
• to twenty per cent.
•
In a recent survey of parking conditions in a midwestern city,
it was learned that of the parked cars in the down town area, (the
-check being made in the morning, at noon and ift the late afternoon,)
r- 23 per cent, of the available parking space was occupied continuously
from morning to night by the same cars, 81 per cent. of which were
cars owned by local business and 'Professional people—two merchants
having two cars each for the full day; also that the average parking
time was two and one-half hours; therefore, each car parked con-
tinuously deprived three and one-fifth customers of a space to park.
In other words, the merchants in this town, by their carelessness,
thoughtlessness, or for their own convenience, were driving a fifth
of their trade away. At the same time, this survey proved that in
many cases local merchants had ample parking space at the rear of
their stores, some of Whom 'had available garage space, unoccupied.
The majority of the merchants in this town complained of
lack of business or stated that they could "stand" more business --
many "cried" about business when they could, by a little thinking
plus a very smell amount of .effort and inconvenience, automatically
make possible an iiecrease in business of from 15 per cent to 20 per
cent. for themselves and the community.
You cannot expect business from your trade zone, from other
towns or from motor traffic if you do not provide -a place for po-
tential customers to park fixe .cars they use as • a means to get to
your city.
And remember, if your community, your town, doesn't do it,
some other town will and the town that does it will get the business.
