CITY OF DELRAY BEACH PARKING STUDY
Downtown Area

City Schedules Two Downtown Parking Study Charrettes
The City of Delray Beach invites all Delray Beach residents and businesses to attend two (2) Charrettes on the City’s Downtown Parking Study. 

These community meetings are open to the public and will provide attendees with an opportunity to examine, discuss and provide input on the Parking Study as it relates to creating a sustainable parking management program. 

The Charrettes will be held on the evening of Monday, January 30th, at 6:00 PM and the morning of Tuesday, January 31st, at 9:00 AM at the Delray Beach Community Center, located at 50 NW 1st Avenue (adjacent to the City’s Tennis Center). 

The community meetings will be facilitated by the Fairfield Index, Inc., an economic development firm specializing in the facilitation of engaged consensus and conversation building through interactive meeting forum with the public. Representatives from Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., the consulting firm that completed the Parking Study, will also be in attendance to provide background and support as needed with respect to the creation of a sustainable parking management program.

The proposed Parking Study may be accessed below. All members of the Delray Beach community (i.e., residents and businesses) are encouraged to review the Study prior to the meetings.

Background
In July of 2009, the Delray Beach City Commission approved a contract with Kimley-Horn, a nationwide consulting firm, to study parking and transportation throughout the Downtown area, and to provide comments and recommendations on how the City should address these issues in the future. The goal of the parking study was to create a management plan to assist the City in the management of its current parking inventory and shuttle service.
