Specifications include, but are not limited to: Obtain and review any existing reports, studies, surveys, and parking statistical information pertinent to the parking study, as well as obtain local zoning ordinances that pertain to parking. Perform occupancy counts for all spaces within the target area throughout a typical busy day. Evaluate pedestrian traffic patterns, specifically to and from the parking facilities. Receive information from the City concerning key activity levels for the actual survey day. This will allow us to adjust our model and graphically map out the fluctuations throughout the year, as the University enrollment has a significant impact on the parking conditions. Recommend parking rates and time limits, if appropriate, which will allow the City to better manage the short-term, long-term, public and employee parking supply in the downtown area. Prepare a task report and provide draft to the City of Newark and the Downtown Newark Partnership’s Parking Committee for review. Incorporate draft report comments into the final report.
