58. Parking strategies
• Off-street facilities
• Shared parking
• Additional supply
• Transportation demand management
• Car share

59. Summary
• There is a need for investment in the
neighborhood to improve the existing quality
of life – i.e. to make streets safer, to fix
broken infrastructure, to help attract stores
and services
• We need a lot of different funding sources to
address the challenges and opportunities in
the community
• Whatever the final design – there will be the
opportunity for flexibility with respect to
location and time of day restrictions

60. WHAT COULD WE
DO HERE?

61. Rules of the game
• You can only place pieces within the 60’ of
Right-Of-Way
• A bus lane must be provided in both
directions
• The bus lane must allow for curbside
passenger pick-up/drop-off
• We must use all 60’
• You can suggest a different cross-section for
different parts of the neighborhood

62. Regroup &
Looking ahead
