  • Currently, to mitigate a

negative transportation impact we:

– Reduce density – Widen roadways – Transportation Demand Management – Add parking – Move the project to a more isolated location with less existing traffic congestion

Step ¡4: ¡ ¡Legalize ¡walkable ¡/ ¡ bikable ¡neighborhoods ¡

Parking

  • 1. Eliminate minimum parking

requirements

  • 2. Create a “Park Once,” shared

parking environment

  • 3. Charge the right price for curb

parking

  • 4. Manage parking in order to

achieve development and congestion management goals context and goals
