Solving the Problem

The problem that I identified in the previous exercise is the lack of parking at the Publix and Starbucks on 13^thStreet and University Ave. I came up with two ideas for potential solutions. The first one is to incorporate parking spots with time limits on them. If there was someone actually enforcing the time limits, people would be less likely to hog parking spots for hours at a time and it would alleviate the problem a bit. However, this idea is not really profitable which led me to my second idea. The other idea is to start a valet service in or near this parking lot. Customers would have to pay a fee to use the service, and they could leave their cars for as long as they want. The valet lot would have to be near Publix so that customers would not have to wait a long time to pick up their cars once they are done shopping.
