More cars, fewer parking spaces in Coolidge Corner.

Posted by The Brookline Connection at 5:04 PM

I took Tessie for a walk last night and noticed that my old parking lot off of Centre Street has suddenly doubled their number of Zip Car spots to start the month. This is right on the heels of a feature on NBC Nightly News about the increased usage around the country.

In urban areas, the Zipcar takes off

While I support a greater reliance on "shared" transportation, I know this particular parking lot was a vital resource for those of us who do not own or have assigned rights to parking spots. This is likely to increase prices for parking spots in an already high-demand area.
