"In a city with one of the nation's worst air pollution problems and a state where the governor is trying to double mass transit use, Baltimore and its businesses are working overtime to make room for more cars downtown with more than 7,000 new parking spaces in the works or being discussed.Other cities confronted with traffic congestion are taking an opposite route: incentives for those who leave their cars behind. But in Baltimore, the prevailing philosophy on parking seems to be build it and they will come."
