Even downtown businesses consistently overestimate the percentage of their customers who arrive by car. Countless surveys of customers in urban business districts show that large majorities of customers do not arrive in cars -- and the ability of such business districts to thrive without mall-style oceans of parking (thus enabling the walkable cluster of shops in the first place) should be a testament to that.

A smart BID would commission such a survey before splashing out any money on parking or other transportation improvements.
