DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Marion, Iowa is seeking a consulting team to assist with uptown parking management. The consultant will be responsible for expanding on the 2023 uptown parking study by developing a comprehensive management strategy that considers the requirements of local businesses, employees, and patrons. The strategy will prioritize various parking-related approaches based on factors such as cost, impact, and timing.
Key responsibilities include data collection through mapping to determine both public (on-street and off-street) and private parking supply, including short-term loading zones, as well as utilization measurement during peak days and times. The consultant will analyze the existing inventory and utilization data, formulate actionable parking management recommendations, and define triggers for implementing these strategies. Additionally, the consultant will assess the feasibility of transitioning from free parking to paid or permit-based programs, and provide recommendations for optimizing the placement of short-term loading zones to meet future demand over the next 5–10 years.
