*This is not meant to be an exhaustive list - this list is intended to generate discussion among workgroup members to identify issues, impacts and concerns related to parking to support preservation of historic buildings through the Fort Hancock leasing program.

Considerations for Parking**

  • To the greatest extent possible, new parking would be developed to minimize impacts on natural and cultural resources
  • To the greatest extent possible, new parking would be located in previously disturbed areas
  • To the greatest extent possible, new parking would incorporate previous materials and designs
  • New parking would be designed to be climate change resiliant
  • New lighting would be night sky compliant
  • A program for recovery of costs related to development and management of leasing related parking would be developed and implemented
  • Existing historic walkways would be maintained
  • All buildings would have adjacent universally accessible parking
  • Residential, commercial and office spaces would require parking in proximity to the building
  • Some or all event parking could be accomodated by valet or shuttle parking
  • Regulatory parking signs would follow standards of "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices" and the "Americans with Disabilities Act"
  • New parking and circulation (pedestrian and vehicle) would be designed to accomodate future integration of mass transit (i.e., shuttle system within park, public transportation to park; recognizing transit system likly cannot come on-line until there is a critical mass of potential users)
  • Additional considerations?

**This is not meant to be an exhaustive list - this list is intended to generate discussion among workgroup members of considerations related to parking to support preservation of historic buildings through the Fort Hancock leasing program.
