(at the Lake Merritt BART Station)
9 a.m. – 3:45 p.m.

This event is now full, but it will be audiocast live.

Parking policies play a crucial role in the character of your community. The wrong parking requirements can be a major barrier to downtown, town center, station area and infill development; customized strategies can support community goals.

Who Should Attend:

Elected officials seeking more lively pedestrian focused downtowns/city centers/transit station areas
City staff interested in addressing parking demand in a downtown / town center / TOD — along with developing supportive policies
Development professionals interested in exploring lower parking requirements along with supportive measures for development projects

Attendees will receive a Smart Growth Parking Policy “Toolbox” and modeling program.
