    Transit-Oriented Development Parking Recommendations
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2013) Christopherson, Kate; Shoemaker, James M.; Simon, BrieAnna; Zhang, Alex
    This project was completed as part of the 2012-2013 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Minnetonka. The City of Minnetonka was interested in assessing its parking regulations and identifying potential best practices for improving parking regulation and design. Minnetonka project lead and city planner Susan Thomas worked with students in PA 8202: Networks and Places, to develop a set of parking policy recommendations. Using the Opus business campus as a focus for their work, the students recommended creating a transit zoning overlay; allowing or incentivizing shared parking; providing park and ride options; requiring carpool parking; allow bicycle parking and bicycle parking substitutions for new developments; permitting cash-out programs and subsidized transit pass use; using more permeable surfaces for parking lots; and installing median pedestrian walkways. The students' final report and presentation are available.
