Study Of Parking Projects In U S Cities Planned
Executive committee of the citizens parking committee plans to contact Portland Cement Co and the American Automobile Association for data on existing parking structures in the United States. If necessary, they will compile a city list with owners and operators, then send standardized questions through the mayor's office. The group will study a project in a specific city rather than isolated aspects, with representation from many civic organizations. Bluefield’s 800-space garage and La Crosse plans are cited, with potential bonds up to 600 000 projected from meter revenues for a 15 year term.
