We will spend lots of money and fill our downtown with parking garages, in order to move more cars in and out. If the plan is successful, downtown Austin will come to resemble the smoggy, car-clogged centers of Paris and Rome. Then we can spend more money to move the cars out of downtown. If we must have parking garages, build them outside downtown and run a tram line or a Dillo to take motorists from their cars to downtown. Don't fill downtown with parking garages.
Downtown can be clean, pleasant, car-free, and pleasant to walk in.
Or downtown can be hot, smoggy, and full of cars. We have choices. Let's choose wisely. Yours truly, Amy Babich Website hosted by Michael Bluejay , who supports Amy's campaign but is otherwise uninvolved with it.
