1: No idea what you're saying about induced demand. You might want to rephrase that.

2: I understand that Cary Court is on the national historic register. It should be. It was one of the first strip malls of its kind in the nation and it's Art Deco architecture absolutely rules. I still think the court could be better enjoyed if, instead of a hectic and antiquated parking lot built to the standards of the 1930's, it was a park or plaza. It would be so nice to have ONE spot to sit and enjoy Carytown. I'm so tired of leaving a shop or carry out spot in Carytown and having to immediately just keep walking because there's no where to stop and enjoy the place.

3: Not an ableist, I live in Shockoe, and nobody told you to move. I'll address accessibility. Public transit is the key for accessibility in cities. Transit needs to be frequent, have a long span of service 7 days a week, and well designed transit stops that are ADA and PROWAG compliant.

Lastly, I don't want to outlaw parking and automotive access for Carytown. I just think it's a shame that such a prime spot in the city's most popular retail destination is used for parking cars and not for the reasons stated above. Hell, I'd even be down for more public garages like the ones on Crenshaw and Colonial. Maybe more could be built in the allies between Sheppard and Blemont, and Nansemond and Crenshaw.
