Today, #Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont signed HB 8002, which removes minimum parking mandates STATEWIDE for residential developments with less than 16 homes, and largely removes them for projects with more than 16 homes. I’m grateful for all of the parking reformers who worked hard to pass this!

Terrific to see suburban politicians and advocates take a victory lap with NITA. A hard-fought victory for Chicagoland transit, with the potential to tie our region together, rather than reinforcing the governance silos that have divided us for far too long. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/25/s...
