<br />Shoup argues that parking regulations have a large impact on the shape of our cities and often favor <br />driving over other modes of transportation. In his talk, he will discuss how cities around the country have <br />changed their parking strategies to revitalize downtowns, stimulate business, and expand transportation <br />choices. An economist, Shoup received national attention for his analysis of the effects of parking <br />policies on community design, housing costs, and transportation. Shoup's presentation is timely as <br />parking strategies will be a key component of mixed-use center plans that are underway in Walnut <br />Station and Rasor Park. <br /> <br />For more information, contact Allen Lowe at the Planning and Development Department, 541-682- <br />5113 or allen.d.lowe@ci.eugene.or.us; or Rob Inerfeld at the Public Works Department, 541-682-5343 <br />or rob.inerfeld@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br /> <br />Free Online Homework Help at Library's Alternative Education Fair <br />th <br />Kids, teens, and parents are invited to the 11 Annual Alternative <br />Education Fair at the Eugene Public Library Downtown, Saturday, <br />February 3, 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Co-sponsored by the Eugene Waldorf <br />School and the Library, the fair is a great opportunity to learn about <br />alternative education programs in Eugene and throughout Lane <br />County.
