Daily Parking Demand<br />

●<br />

Parking congestion already exists along the waterfront with a recent survey showing<br />

80% parking saturation along the waterfront at peak times with 100% parking saturation<br />

during special events. Whereas substantial growth opportunities still exist along<br />

the waterfront, additional areas for waterfront public parking are severely limited, as<br />

reflected by the following conditions:<br />

80% peak period parking saturation<br />

100% saturation during high demand special events<br />

Current 24% <strong>of</strong>fice vacancy downtown for multi-tenant <strong>of</strong>fice buildings<br />

Expect further demand as economic recovery occurs and BayWalk is revitalized.<br />

●<br />

.As a result, it is recommended that the <strong>City</strong>:<br />

1. Protect its parking resources<br />

2. Look for opportunities to expand current facilities or consider a future additional<br />

parking garage.<br />

3. Encourage alternative transportation options that do not require extensive parking<br />

resources such as public transit, trolleys and bike usage.<br />
