Existing Tools Do Not Address All Residential Parking Demand Challenges

High Density-residential Land Use and RPP Designated Streets • Great number of high density

residential blocks (+10) • Multiple RPP vehicles

competing for RPP spaces

RPP blocks Orange – HD Residential

Existing Tools Do Not Address All Residential Parking Demand Challenges

Parking Meters • Low meter transaction rate (33%)

- Not paying the meters - Parking in unmetered areas (i.e. adjacent RPP spaces)

• High pay by cell rate ( 66%) • Increasing trend in parking overtime at meters • Consistent meter overstay patterns in several parts of Dupont Violations Trends • Noticeable parking crunch in Dupont - North Dupont: Street cleaning, Overstay RPP, disobeying parking signs (increasing trend) - South Dupont: Overtime at meters, Rush hour (increasing) - Kalorama: No noticeable trends

Meters Could Be More Effectively Managed

What Works, What Doesn’t Opportunities, Challenges

Residential Parking

Visitor Parking Neighborhood Commercial Parking

• What works

• What doesn’t

• Opportunities

• Challenges

Evaluate Existing Opportunities (Reconfigure On-street Restrictions)

• Adjusting existing restrictions (evaluating RPP eligibility/ spaces)

• Revising loading zone and RPP signage where possible

• Evaluate closing unutilized curb cuts

non residential Vacant RPP streets with primary non-residential uses

Non-residential Land Use & RPP Designated Streets • 137 RPP spaces total • 488 2016 RPP permits

affected

Potential Solutions • Convert to Meters • Remove RPP designation • Consider adjacent land use

context

Existing Opportunities

Time Limited Spaces • 73 spaces total • 16 are 15 min zones • 16 are 1 hr zones • 41 are 2 hr zones

Potential Solutions • Convert to RPP • Convert to Meters • Consider adjacent land

use context

Red – 15 min zones Brown– 1 hr zones Yellow – 2 hr zones Blue – non residential Green – vacant Orange – HD Residential

Existing Opportunities

Unregulated Spaces • 555 spaces total Potential Solutions • Convert to RPP • Convert to Meters • Consider adjacent

land use context

Presence unregulated space Non residential Vacant Orange – HD Residential
