Reply to comment by EthanSayfo in Amtrak shares renderings of rebuilt Baltimore Penn Station by DfcukinLite

That lot is only half full now because of construction workers using it for parking. Without them, maybe 1/4 of the parking spaces are used daily, if that. So the loss isn't nearly as significant as you'd think.

If more people begin to use rail though, you have to consider projected numbers, not current. Edit: Ya'll can downvote me because you feel strongly opposed to cars but it doesn't change the fact that if you want more people to use rail you are going to have to make that rail accessible to everyone even people who drive cars.

They're replacing the parking lot with a garage as part of the building going up on Lanvale. Plans also include potentially expanding the current garage under Penn Station, though that's undecided.
