A Parking Space Project

Tuesday, April 22nd (Earth Day) from 8-3 on B-street.

Demonstrating the potential of a parking space, one space at a time:

Aaron doesn't have a car. He gets around using his bike and the bus for the most part, but on occasion he needs a car to get building or gardening materials, or to go somewhere with infrequent or no bus service.

I have the opposite problem. I own an all wheel drive car, mostly for backcountry skiing trips on winter weekends. But since I like to walk, bike and bus for my weekday activities, I rarely drive the thing. Whether I drive or not, I have to pay the fixed costs of car ownership: depreciation and insurance. This runs $2-4k per year. It would be nice to get some of those costs covered, and at the same time, lend out my car occasionally, making it feasible for more people like Aaron to get by without owning a car.
