Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	Cartoon about the parking situation in downtown Evansville, especially around the Courthouse. Top: A driver circles around several blocks searching for a parking space but fails to find one. The curb and parking lots are all full. He then pushes his car into the river and decides to walk. Center: An aerial view of the courthouse, showing how many cars can currently be parked on the curb surrounding the building. Some cars, which belong to county officials, are parked in the buildings entryway. Several spaces must be left vacant for use by people taking driving tests. A suggestion for providing more parking is illustrated: if the sidewalk on two sides of the building was set back away from the street, angled parking areas could be created, providing several more spaces. Bottom right: Illustration of cars parked around the statehouse in Indianapolis. Image Access WideTEK 25 After driving round and round blocks and try one more--you feel like--. Park here. Full. Full. Ill walk. Help. The River. Court St. This corner opposite Coliseum should be cut way back regardless of changes. Space for cars of those taking drivers tests... So with parking problems growing, every place available will have to be utilized. One such suggested (by J.N.) is at the Court House...now only 43 autos can park on all four sides. An additional 20 to 24 can be parked--it is said-- If as suggested--the sidewalk on Vine and Court Streets be set back in large lawn enough to permit angle parking. Would also widen these congested areas to traffic. ----Dotted line indicates widening. Court Street. Fourth Street. 5 6 5 3 6 6 7 5. Court House. ? Some county officials park in here now.
