Project Purpose: The City is developing a parking plan to address downtown and
surrounding neighborhood areas. The key issues include:
o Long-term parking (i.e. employees)
o Private sector role in parking provision
o Role for travel demand management practices
o Short-term parking (i.e. turnover in retail areas)
o Best management practices for efficient turnover
o Financial operations and funding
o Parking impacts to surrounding neighborhoods
o Lack of parking requirements downtown in Land Use Code
o Customer service improvements
Public Process: The project will have a thorough public process, including meetings with
City Council, boards and commissions, and the downtown community.
Staff Role: The majority of work will be completed by City staff. This includes data
collection and presentation, coordinating the public outreach process, and drafting the
final plan document
Consultant Role: The main task of the consultant will be as a technical advisor with
additional responsibilities including:
o Assistance with technical aspects of the plan
o Expert knowledge of parking operations and practices
o Advice on ways to strengthen the planning process as necessary
o Development of the final project scope of work
o Other topics as required
Previous Downtown Parking Studies: The Downtown Strategic Plan provided a variety
of recommendations and analysis on parking as part of the overall plan. The goal of this
planning process is to create a separate document. The plan will become part of the
Transportation Master Plan.
Consultant Questions:
1. What are the study area boundaries?
The study area is similar to the Downtown Strategic Plan, with modifications to
include neighborhoods along Laurel Street near Colorado State University. The map
is available at fcgov.com/parkingplan
2. Is the City responsible for data collection?
Yes. City staff would also welcome any advice from the consultant regarding
additional data that may be required and presentation methods.
3. What is the consultant's role in the public process?
The specific meetings and dates will be determined as a scope of work is finalized.
The request for proposals identified approximately 12 meetings that the consultant
should plan to attend.
4. What is the importance of bicycle parking?
City staff is completing a bicycle parking inventory and occupancy study prior to
hiring a consultant. City staff expects that the plan will result in several policies
related to bicycle parking (including on -street parking) driven by best management
practices.
