Eliminating parking minimums in zoning is indeed included in his plans. This proposal is overall great news.

I thought I read elsewhere that he was just proposing to reduce parking minimums?

I think it’s still up in the air, tbd. If it’s “reduced” to say 1 space per building for example, it’s effectively eliminated.

Many cities in Europe have the opposite system… parking maximums. And the few spots that are allowed typically have to be reserved for people with mobility issues.

Amazing. The idea that anything with “environmental” in the name could be used to mandate parking for cars is the height of irony.
