Less people will now consider taking the Red or Purple Line to the Broad because "plentiful and abundant parking" exists at the Broad. Bar none ridiculous. It's these parking regulations that are killing the urban fabric. . |
I hafta kinda disagree with that. Unlike the south end of DTLA where there are endless swaths of parking lots dotting the landscape, Bunker Hill adjacent, where this museum is going to be located, actually is quite the opposite. There is definatly parking, but the only surface lot is the one where the museum is to be built. I have parked there numerous times because its the only easily accessed "lot" in the area. Not to mention the fact that since this museum will be a "destination" attraction, many people will drive from far and wide, so the trains wouldnt come into play anyhow ( i know we have the metro and such, but we must play to the audience we have until the audience we want shows up). So parking on site is very important, even if it goes against our "urban" sensebilities.
At least its underground parking, like EVERY other city has under their developments.
