East Passyunk area has gone from being a pretty lifeless fading commercial corridor to a near-thriving one. I say near because it doesn't quite have the all day foot traffic it should have, but it's getting pretty close. And so there are now neighborhood parking problems. The nearby supermarket lot, which was an unofficial free municipal lot for people without Philly car registrations for years, has declared that they are actually going to start towing now as non-customers are crowding out the customers in the lot.
Hopefully things like this valet parking program provide a solution. It seems like too many in the city would choose "available parking" over "nice thriving commercial corridor."
