Best Case Scenario (If all off-street parking is used)
RESIDENT PRIORITY “Priority for residential
neighborhoods primarily for local, long term residents.”
MANAGED AVAILABILITY “Maintain availability for all
users and demands.”
PRIORITY USERS/USES • Existing residents/residences • Visitors of existing
residents/residences • Commercial loading and delivery • Commercial patrons
TRADE-OFFS • Limited support for local businesses • Treatment of “new” versus “existing”
residents and properties
PRIORITY USERS/USES • High-capacity access (transit, bikes
and shared vehicles) • All other users
TRADE-OFFS • Higher parking rates and permit
fees • No user group is given preferential
treatment. • Requires active management and
price adjustment
