An apartment development with no parking for its expected 1,000 residents is planned across from a light-rail station in Tempe.

"To our knowledge, this will be the first apartment complex built without parking for residents," said Graham. "It feels like the timing is right. The number of people I know who are carless now is amazing." The development wouldn't be entirely parking-free. There would be guest spaces on site for visitors and parking for the development's commercial retail...MORE
