Local Parking Study

A comprehensive study to determine where parking problems exist in the community. The typical parking study will include analysis of where parking is adequate, where it is in short supply, project future parking supply/demand, and review local government programs and policies affecting parking.
  • Not enough parking available in busy activity centers
  • Too much land dedicated to parking or other paved areas
  • Limited effectiveness if study recommendations are not subsequently implemented
  • Saves time and money through advance identification of local parking issues and specific areas of the community where parking problems need to be addressed
  • Study will cost some money, particularly if done by a professional consultant
