In July 2003, members of the TAG organized a sartorial send-up entitled 'Park Buffalo' to focus public attention on the massive physical, social, and economic blight that surface parking has become in Buffalo. The group was joined by Buffalo Councilmembers Joe Golombek and David Franczyk in calling for a common-sense approach: sound planning, progressive political leadership, a moratorium on surface parking, and better parking agency oversight through a re-structuring of planning authority.
 The 'Park Buffalo' event resulted in wide television, radio, and print media coverage, most notably with a front-page article in The Buffalo News entitled Plenty of Space to Park (July 10, 2003) -- also see our reprinted version on this site. On the radio, WBFO-FM 88.7 also reported the story. The national organization Smart Growth Online posted an edited article on its website. Finally, another good article entitled Lack of sense, not parking, ails downtown by The Buffalo News' esteemed columnist Donn Esmonde (November 7, 2003) expresses the latest epilogue. |
