WHERE TO PARK? The influx of motorcoaches into cities often creates traffic hassles; where do you park all the motorcoaches that bring in day trippers, shoppers, commuters, and people willing to spend money? The cities of Alexandria, Va. and New York's West Side of Manhattan are facing this dilemma. The motorcoach trend is one that should be encouraged and embraced; after all it takes cars off the road and carbon out of the air. So cities would be wise to invest in motorcoach parking lots and/or flexible waiting/parking rules. With growing pressure for more efficient transportation during a recession, governments and authorities need to lay the groundwork for motorcoach growth. -- M.R.
