50% of ALL the surface area of Downtown Tulsa is dedicated to streets or surface parking. At some point, you knock down and build so much parking there's no reason to park there anymore. 50%... wow.
Yes, I drew each of these polygons via google earth and it took hours after @grischard taught me an easier way. If you’d like to follow for more as I do series on other cities, please follow!
@the_transit_guy Here I threw one together in @felt of downtown Portland between the river and I-405. Includes a bunch of multi-story above-ground parking garages. Felt is a pretty good tool for this sort of thing, try it out! felt.com/map/Portland-M…
