On October 10, Walker Consultants issued its four recommendations concerning North Beach regional parking based on their analysis (LTC attached):

1. North Shore - Replace Municipal Parking Lot No. P92, located at 299-72nd Street with a minimum 490+/- parking structure. Please note Walker cautions the City that the projected peak hour demand (4:00 PM only) is an additional 230 parking spaces (489 + 230 = 719) to satisfy seasonal visitor activity parking needs.

2. North Shore - Pursue a shared public parking opportunity with an underutilized private parking lot north of 73rd Street.

3. North Shore Alternatives Analysis - Explore the temporary use of two city-owned unimproved parcels north of 85th Street on Collins Avenue for an estimated 300-400 public parking spaces during construction periods, including overlap periods. This coupled with the North Beach Trolley loop provides transit access from 65th Street to 88th Street, allowing appropriate connections for the north/south Collins express line.

4. Town Center- Retain the four small municipal parking lots (P80 - 30 spaces, located at 410-71 st Street; P83, 29 spaces, located 6933 Harding Avenue; P84, 53 spaces, located at 6950 Harding Avenue; and P85, 14 spaces, located 6977 Carlyle Avenue) for public parking purposes or in the event a public/private partnership opportunity exists, pursue a development agreement that includes a public parking component maintained and operated by the City.
