Parking Map Volunteers

Bridgette Rallo’s article (Sept. 2009, Norfolk Now) on Norfolk’s parking problem mentions a diagram showing where on-street parking is—and is not—allowed in the town center. As Rallo correctly notes, this map was the work of members of the Economic Development Commission. However, the map would not have come into being without the detailed survey undertaken by Frank Bell and Simon Aldridge, who demonstrated that there were substantially more parking spaces available within a few minutes walk of Norfolk’s commercial center than had been thought to be the case.
