While it is a convenience, it also is frequently backed up with exhaust-pouring idling vehicles trying to return to Ponce after discovering the lot is (surprise!) full. My question to the City at the time of the installation of the new meter monitoring system is whether it could be configured so that a “LOT FULL” sign would direct would-be parkers to stay away. Lyn seemed to indicate that this is a future possibility. I hope that they will give this option more serious consideration (in both this lot and the one on N McDonough).

It’s an interesting proposition…while they are remnants of streets (as Scott points out), I can’t disagree that we could do with a little more greenspace around the square.

I wonder what the city thinks…

That parking was originally on-street parking before MARTA destroyed the Square by not going fully underground (as originally planned) and eliminating that block of Sycamore. Though they may seem like parking lots, they’re really just severed streets.

The “city” obviously can’t just go in and rip down that parking deck without flat-out buying it (which is simply a waste of money).
