Better yet, build something worthwhile on the space. Housing, shops, transit - there are clearly going to be a lot of people going here on a regular basis, why make it so that they have to live far away? The rooftops of all of these places can then host solar panels, without actually wasting the space below them on something as useless as car storage.
Think of all the solar energy that parking lot could make.

Eventually it’ll only make sense to do that. Take all that blacktop real estate and turn it into energy. Providing shade will be a bonus.
Exactly my thought.
It would be nice to leave work and not have to drive home in an oven. But I guess the cookies on my dash make up for it.
Most colleges do have solar over the parking lot for shaded bonus
