EngiNerd... Appreciate the feedback. I'll assume that RTD likely managed the lower part of those numbers, maybe even less given their timing.
One reason why I was curious goes to a recent article about the
escalation of new garage parking costs in Seattle to now about $118,000 a space, at least in one case. When the recession hit they postponed building a promised garage facility and made the mistake of not at least acquiring the land. Now everything has doubled in cost. Seattle is high on everything at this point though.
A second reason is articles often pop up on StreetsBlog about parking not worth the price, yada yada. Since with me context is everything and everything is local I became curious what RTD might have paid - so thanks again.
