Downtown Chattanooga Parking Study Guide to August 2017 Public Meeting Materials

Transcription

1 Guide to August 17 Public Meeting Materials The Downtown Chattanooga ing Study is a comprehensive study effort for all public and private parking in central downtown Chattanooga, and it seeks to collect current parking information, look ahead to estimate future parking need, and develop strategic recommendations for how to manage and potentially expand current parking resources. The study is led by River City Company and the Chattanooga ing Authority/Chattanooga Area Regional Transit Authority (CARTA), working with a consultant team led from Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates. The study s current status Most inventory and utilization counts as well as most analysis is complete, and the consultant team has begun developing recommendations. None of these recommendations are finalized. In partnership with the City of Chattanooga, the team hosted a public open house on August 2, 17 to share findings and hear feedback from those who were interested. Presentation of findings The series of display boards that accompany this summary was presented at the August open house. This guide is intended to explain them to those who were not able to attend the open house. The study area is divided into seven subareas, similar to the generally accepted downtown districts, and these subareas make the representation of data more comprehensible. These smaller areas also relate to most Chattanoogans current parking behavior and expectations. Each of the subareas includes three slides, describing the following information: ing inventory: the current supply of parking and where is it (i.e. onstreet, lots, garages). ing utilization: when is parking being used at different times of the day? Supplydemand balance: how much parking is being used compared to the demand. The following three pages explain how to interpret the information on each of the three slides for each subarea, using one of the districts (City Center North) as an example and explaining why the information is important. Study Subareas Riverfront City Center North City Center South Southside UTC ML King Health & Ed The study s recommendations The purpose of the study is to identify strategies and actions for the City, River City, CARTA and other partners to take to address parking needs and identify current opportunities. Although these recommendations are not finalized, the study team has observed patterns and conditions that point to particular strategies that might be effective. It is important to note that the study team is driven be a philosophy of managing current resources most effectively before recommending new parking being constructed, especially when most areas of downtown have available space during most times of the day. ing is costly to build and requires continued funding to make it possible, and there are lowercost, lower effort opportunities that Chattanooga may be able to use to meet its parking needs. The study s next steps The study team has developed early recommendations, and they are currently in the process of finalizing these ideas with input from stakeholders and agency partners. The study will be finished in fall 17.

2 Inventory Board Downtown Chattanooga ing Study City Center North Downtown Chattanooga s business core, which also includes attractions such as Memorial Auditorium and the Tivoli Theater. This is the singlelargest subarea inventory in the overall downtown parking study area, with over a quarter of all downtown parking in this subarea alone. ing Inventory What this board contains: The maps illustrate both the onstreet and offstreet parking supply, colorcoded by type. On the offstreet parking map, the numbers indicate how many spaces are in each highlighted garage or lot. The table provides a detailed breakdown of the parking inventory. The highlighted rows of onstreet and offstreet parking represent the breakdown of total spaces, and the detailed rows under these show how each onstreet and offstreet spaces are broken down by different categories. Why this information is important: Greater Downtown Chattanooga has over parking spaces and is a complex puzzle of private, public, onstreet and offstreet parking. It is important to see the full breakdown of parking in each of the study s subareas to see what s available and to whom it is available.

3 Utilization Board Downtown Chattanooga ing Study City Center North ing Utilization What this board contains: The maps illustrate how parking is used throughout the day. The study has counted parking use on a typical weekday and on a Saturday. Most of the seven subareas counted parking every two hours. The top row is the weekday count while the bottom row is the Saturday counts (on some boards, weekday maps are on the left side and weekend maps are on the right side). The text in between these maps guides readers through patterns that were observed. The degree to which the district s parking is used throughout the day is driven by its employment focus: parking is much busier than weekday business hours than at other times. Weekday Utilization (Thursday) 7 am am am am am 1 pm 1 pm 3 pm 3 pm 5 pm 5 pm 7 pm Early morning parking activity is focused on hotels and other uses with overnight demand especially on weekends. Later into the weekday, many lots and garages are much closer to full, though little is exceeding functional capacity. On weekends, much of the Rates of Utilization The highest parking use rates are in the core business district, and they include both onstreet and offstreet parking. Although weekend parking is more heavily 0% to % % to 60% 60% to 0% 0% to 0% 0% to 0% Over 0% Onstreet parking remains busy in the late afternoon on weekdays. Even on weekends when overall parking demand is lower, some onstreet Onstreet parking remains busy in the late afternoon on weekdays. Even on weekends when overall parking demand is lower, some onstreet Utilization declines substantially in the evenings, even though some onstreet locations and select offstreet lots remain in high use. Why this information is important: Chattanooga has not had a comprehensive study showing how existing parking is used throughout the day. This is useful to guide decisionmaking around actual data and helps to show how the balance of supply and demand is different throughout downtown. Weekend Utilization (Saturday) 7 am am am am am 1 pm 1 pm 3 pm 3 pm 5 pm 5 pm 7 pm Rates of Utilization 0% to % % to 60% 60% to 0% 0% to 0% 0% to 0% Over 0%

4 Supply Demand and Strategies Board Downtown Chattanooga ing Study City Center North Based on the current development (homes, businesses and other uses) in the subarea, we can compare what we would expect parking demand to be with what levels of use we actually observed. This helps to guide what strategies may be most appropriate to manage parking, both now and in the future. Current Development SupplyDemand Balance and Potential Strategies Current + Future Development DRAFT Study work is still in progress and not yet final. What this board contains: The study team considered the land use information (the number of residential units, the amount of office space, etc.) in each subarea and estimated what demand for parking these uses generate. These estimates are driven by knowledge on how much parking demand typically occurs with these different uses. The team estimated both the unshared demand, or what would be needed if parking supported only a single use (i.e. residential parking), and real demand, or how much total parking is needed across the day. We compared this to the observed parking (illustrated in maps on the previous board) to understand how an estimated amount of parking compared to the observed use. In many cases, the observed use (again, what was actually counted by the team) today is lower than what we would expect, though in some cases the two are very close. When parking is built for a land use, zoning typically requires a certain amount (defined by a ratio of parking spaces to floor space, dwelling units, or other measures of intensity). These amounts are based on what the transportation industry understands the peak parking demand to be, regardless of when that happens in a day. This is the amount of parking that would be needed if we built it this way. However, peak levels of demand for different land uses occur at different times of the day. By comparing these peaks and considering how they overlap, we get a better sense of what the real demand is throughout the day. It is generally less than the exclusive demand shown above. This graph compares the estimated real demand with the amount that existing parking was observed to be used during field counts for parking utilization.

However, as the utilization graphs illustrate, this available supply is not evenly distributed through the district. The study Why this information is important: Even when the utilization maps illustrate that parking facilities are heavily used or not heavily used, there is a districtwide relationship of overall parking to overall need. Understanding how these relate especially when expected demand is close to or even less than what use is observed helps parking managers and planners understand how urgently action may be needed to satisfy parking need. 5,7 7,050 7, 7, 6,0 3,70 2,0 :00 :00 :00 :00 :00 1:00 2:00 3:00 :00 5:00 :00 :00 :00 :00 :00

Both of these facilities and others surrounding them are influenced heavily by TVA s campus. Some smaller parking facilities are in high levels of use, although the district generally functions within its capacity. On weekends, however, little of the district s parking is utilized. Into the later afternoon on weekdays, the effects of TVA employment are apparent, especially in the Southside Garage. 7 am am am am am 1 pm 1 pm 3 pm 3 pm 5 pm 5 pm 7 pm Rates of Utilization 0% to % % to 60% 60% to 0% 0% to 0% 0% to 0% Over 0%
