Jackson Heights PARK Smart: One Year Evaluation

Presentation to Queens CB 3

Transportation Committee


• Jackson Heights Neighborhood Transportation Study 2009-2011

• Community identified parking availability and delivery issues

• DOT proposed PARK Smart to: – Increase curbside parking availability – Make deliveries easier for merchants – Decrease congestion and double-parking

Project Background


Local Parking Issues

Double Parking

High Demand

Congestion


• Increase availability of customer and visitor parking on Broadway, 36th Ave, 74th and 82nd Streets

• Encourage long-term parkers to park on Roosevelt Ave, where there is less demand

• Incentivize morning commercial deliveries, when passenger parking demand is lowest

Program Goals


• Oct/Nov 2011: CB #3 & CB #4 voted to approve a 1-year PARK Smark Pilot

• Nov 2011: pre-implementation data collection – Additional Data collected: Feb 2012; Nov 2012, & Feb 2013

• Meetings with Community Boards and Merchant/Resident groups: – May 14th 2012 – CB #3 – July 24th, 2012 – 74th Street Merchants Association – Sept 18th 2012 – CB #3 – Oct 18th 2012 – CB #3 – Nov 13 2012 – CB #4

Roosevelt Ave: Time Lapse Findings

Key Findings: • Increase occupancy across

the board is expected due to extended meter time limits


• Overall, we estimate a 12% increase in the number of drivers finding parking spaces within the PARK Smart area

• Progressive rates have decreased occupancy and average duration in most locations, allowing more shoppers and visitors to park

• PARK Smart has achieved its goals on 74th St, 37th Ave, Broadway and Roosevelt Ave – Results on 82nd Street are mixed – Additional action may be required on Roosevelt Avenue

• Delivery Windows and paid commercial parking has shifted deliveries to the morning and reduced delivery duration, reducing conflict between shoppers and trucks
