Long Description: Feasibility Study Checklist - Step 3
Step 3. Parking Demand Analysis
Assessment: Review of on-site parking supply
If Assessment applies:
- Input into parking occupancy study Input into Site Access and Parking Plan
Tips/Examples:
- Account for spaces lost to background traffic, event sponsors, bus staging, limousine and taxi staging, media parking, event employee parking, and event participant parking
- If parking area(s) is unstriped, then use 150 cars/acre to estimate the number of available spaces
- Consider as a rule of thumb that 90 to 95 percent lot occupancy represents a full parking area
Assessment: Need for off-site (overflow) parking
If Assessment applies:
- Input into parking occupancy study
- Input into Site Access and Parking Plan
Tips/Examples:
- Determine if demand will potentially exceed supply
- Consider walking distance to event venue
- Parking areas located further from the venue (> 15-minute walk) would require a continuous shuttle service
Assessment: Parking occupancy study
If Assessment applies:
- Input into traffic demand analysis
Tips/Examples:
- Perform an iterative parking demand analysis, over hourly time periods as necessary, if considering parking areas characterized by high background parking turnover
