Mid-Town Scenario

Henry Ford Health CenterWayne State UniversityDetroit Medical Center

Site Specific Concerns

HFHS - Parking

WSU - Shuttling Students

DMS - Patient Mobility

Ownership Model

• Vehicle still needs to be stored – – perhaps less than today– More built infrastructure to store / charge– Vehicles remain larger (not ‘right-sized’)

• Energy / GHG – Less opportunity for reduction– More opportunity for grid integration

• Car is also a personal storage facility, and will remain• Security – proximity to facilities becomes a bigger

factor

Shared Model

• Less vehicle storage required– Up to 90% less– More efficient storage due to smaller, right-sized

vehicles– More room for re-development

• Energy / GHG – More opportunity for reduction– Less opportunity for grid integration

Common to Both

• Parking / storage –– Consolidation and efficiency– New facilities for storage/charging part of development

• More curbside needed – Drop-off will be a large factor in new development

• Charging / re-fueling of vehicles– Ownership require larger built infrastructure– Shared may require more in-motion/continual charging

Common to Both

• Pedestrian interaction/congestion will increase– Need to design appropriate ‘drop-off in alley’ or

‘Gondola Shed’ …… • Both new development and retrofit

• Freight Access– Access to curb (which becomes more valuable)

• Re-purpose of streetscape– More opportunity with shared

Developer Recommendations

• Curbside Business Model – Differentiate Service– Low/High service (further/close drop-off point)

• Only shared vehicles/transit on campus– Private vehicles left at periphery– Minimize curbside issue, best energy scenario

• Pedestrian management/movement– Need design to de-conflict vehicles and

pedestrians

Developer Recommendations

• Re-envision grid layout• Leverage street-scape re-design – Consider appropriate rezoning

• Don’t underestimate safety and security issues
