| Freight Parking and Loading Zones: Location, Number, and Size | |
| Description: Initiatives to adapt existing street design and loading areas to accommodate current and future traffic and truck volumes. Parking places and loading zone-related strategies focus on designating and enforcing curbside parking, reallocating curb space, revising signage, and identifying potential freight traffic parking locations. | |
| Targeted mode: Large traffic generators/urban deliveries/all traffic | Geographic scope: Corridor |
| Type of initiative: Parking/loading areas management: on-street parking and loading | Primary objective: Improve inadequate infrastructure |
| Expected costs and level of effort to implement: This initiative requires effort to coordinate multiple stakeholders from planning and transportation organizations to update and modify current regulations, land use codes, and rezoning strategies. Careful planning is needed when allocating curb space or implementing fees or other parking constraints. Positive and negative impacts to road users should also be considered. Investment costs for updating parking regulations are low and. implementation times short. Constructing new parking facilities, or expanding existing truck parking facilities, may require high capital investments. | |
