Section 3 Nelson\Nygaard Parking and Traffic Expertise Nelson\Nygaard specializes in developing parking plans and management programs that go beyond single-issue parking studies and instead focus on creating livable environments through efficient, fiscally responsible use of parking resources. We are highly experienced in drafting policies, regulatory language and practical implementation plans that set forth successful parking management strategies while understanding the specific needs of a city’s administration, advocacy groups, businesses and residential neighborhoods. Nelson\Nygaard is skilled in helping clients understand the real costs of parking and developing strategies for balancing parking demand with financially feasible levels of supply. Parking Demand — How Much is the Right Amount? Providing too much or poorly-placed parking can be immensely costly, increase vehicle traffic, reduce pedestrian and cyclist safety, and reduce development density. Conversely, supplying too little parking can create its own set of problems including undermining the financial feasibility of development projects, hampering the revitalization of commercial districts, and creating parking spillover issues. Nelson\Nygaard undertakes parking demand studies in recognition of the larger community context, realizing that parking must often support several goals simultaneously, such as promoting economic development while maintaining a quality pedestrian environment. Building Consensus Among Stakeholders Policymakers, business interests, and residents often have conflicting objectives and competing community goals. Nelson\Nygaard builds consensus by having these separate players see the larger picture, bringing key stakeholders together to explore potential tensions and tradeoffs. Our innovative public education strategies ensure that communities understand the planning process with ultimate plans reflecting local values and needs. Analytical Expertise Land use and parking are inextricably linked: you have a variety of land uses in your downtown and corresponding parking for the users of these land uses. Nelson\Nygaard uses ITE and ULI tools to evaluate the supply and demand of a parking supply relative to the square footage of existing land uses, assessing the ratios and understanding any deficits. A shared parking model methodology is utilized to best represent how downtown parking is actually utilized throughout the course of a day and week. Parking Policy From citywide parking strategies to neighborhood plans, Nelson\Nygaard has developed policies for small downtowns and major metropolitan centers. Our outreach tools help foster community consensus on policy objectives, and translate these into decisions on specific management policies. The firm is also at the cutting edge of new policy formulation: we have written best practice guides for the EPA, taught training courses for the American Planning Association, and developed our in-house best practice database.
