1065 Empty Parking Spaces at Riverside during Peak Business Hours

I counted them by eye, Friday AM, 10:15-10:45.

Here's the breakdown:

MBTA Lot: 490 Empty spaces
Riverside Center: 441 Empty spaces
Indigo Hotel: 134 Empty spaces (and only 72 occupied, for a dismal 35% occupancy).

Another way to look at this: 192,000 square feet of wasted space (actually, worse: 192,000 sq. ft of impervious urban heat island).



The gate is wide open to "visitors" - zero incentive for people to use transit.
