Urban Centers Parking Management Existing Conditions Report


OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
recommendation
Redmond 2050 directs much of Redmond's anticipated growth into Marymoor Village, Overlake Village, and the Downtown urban centers. With the addition of higher-density housing and construction of light rail stations, new parking management strategies will be needed to make efficient use of public parking resources.

The Urban Centers Parking Management project has two phases. At the Staff Report, staff will discuss the work completed in Phase 1, the operational and near-term changes proposed, and begin discussion on how this data is informing Phase 2.

Phase 1-Document Existing Conditions: create an Existing Conditions Report of public and private parking resources in the urban centers. Include inventory, utilization rates, and duration of parking.

Phase 2- Implement Parking Management Strategies: Implement relevant parking management strategies that enhance access for businesses, residents, and commuters. Management will optimize access in and around the urban centers and support citywide goals of multimodal access as Redmond urbanizes.
