Specifications include, but are not limited to: Kinney Engineering, LLC (KE), has been retained by the Alaska State Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) to conduct this parking utilization analysis as part of the Airport Way/Cushman Street Intersection Reconstruction project. The goal of this project is to improve safety for all users in and around the intersection as well as reducing vehicle delay for improved air quality. This report provides an analysis of existing parking supply for impacted businesses near the project and how the project improvements affect the available parking supply. There are several businesses located adjacent to the Airport Way and Cushman Street intersection, including restaurants, pull tabs, night clubs, a liquor store, and a tailor shop. These businesses all have off-street parking for their patrons. No on-street parking is allowed on Gaffney Road, Airport Way, and Cushman Street. To understand the parking demand, KE performed parking usage counts during various peak hours at the affected locations, compared those values to parking generation values using the ITE methodology, and considered the parking requirements for the Fairbanks North Star Borough (FNSB).
