What if Iowa City devoted less space to parking cars, more for housing people? Austin Wu © Special to the Press-Citizen Austin Wu When Iowa City was platted in 1839, it is likely that not much consideration was given to parking, mostly because cars did not yet exist.  Even as automobiles became quintessential components of the American way of life by the 1920s, it appears that off-street parking lots were still rarities in central Iowa City well into the 1950s. Indeed, a survey of the historical significance of downtown from 2018 notes that the first off-street municipal parking lot in town was not built until “1948 at 317-325 E. College Street, adjacent to the Public Library,” and that “a large, two-story frame apartment building … was razed” to make way for the lot.
