WALKER PARKING - PHASE II/ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
The supply/demand component (first phase) of the Walker Parking Study is complete~
second and next component of the study is to conduct an AA (Alternatives Analysis). This
is an analysis of potential sites from various perspectives, including location,
capacity/density, and costs. The AA will include the following tasks:
· Review existing vehicular and pedestrian access and circulation patterns for their
relationship to existing and proposed parking facilities.
· Identify alternative sites for a new parking facility(s) and determine reasonable
parking capacity for each site. External variables that will be considered are
desirable density, phasing of construction, and incorporation of other uses (such as
retail) in the proposed facility.
· Determine conceptual construction and project costs to enable a comparison of the
costs of each alternative.
· Evaluate the various alternatives on the basis of qualitative criteria (mutually agreed
upon by Walker and the City). The criteria generally includes: capital costs, life
cycle costs, ability to generate revenue, location, visibility, site costs, pedestrian
access, vehicular access, traffic impact, aesthetics, implementation time, security,
and future versatility. A weighted matrix will be used to achieve more objectivity and
rank the alternatives.
The Administration has identified 27 sites throughout the City to be evaluated in the
Alternatives Analysis. Each site was evaluated and if one or more of following three criteria
applied, the site was withdrawn from consideration: (1) private development planned with
no excess parking; (2) private development planned/approved with some excess parking;
(3) inefficient lot sizes for multi-level structure; however, may be considered for surface lot
parking. Please review the attached correspondence to Walker Parking Consultants
outlining the sites to be considered in the Alternatives Analysis. Please provide any
additional sites and/or information as well as comments, input, and/or suggestions at your
earliest convenience in order to incorporate them into the Alternatives Analysis review.
In addition to the site tour conducted with Commissioner Garcia, as a result of LTC 145-03,
staff visited the FlamingoNVestJSunset Harbor neighborhoods with Commissioner
Steinberg and was able to identify additional properties, such as the Feinberg Fisher
Elementary campus vacant lot and expanded the concept of "Median Angle/Parallel
Parking" opportunities for the Flamingo neighborhood, and lastly, excluded a lot previously
included in West Avenue/Sunset Harbor which is planned for private development. These
changes are reflected in the attached updated Alternatives Analysis Sheet and serves to
update the attached June 25th correspondence to Walker Parking.
If you should have any further questions, please contact Christina M. Cuervo, Assistant
City Manager at (305) 673-7000, extension 6586 or Saul Frances, Parking Director at
extension 6483.
