Plan anticipates 1.65 resident parking ratio and recommends traffic studies; UDOT controls Washington Boulevard changes
Summary
The consultant said resident parking was modeled at about 1.65 stalls per unit (developers targeting 1.5–1.75) and recommended level‑of‑service traffic studies, potential two‑way conversions, and coordination with UDOT on Washington Boulevard redesign and medians.
Ben said parking modeling yields about 1.65 resident parking stalls per unit; he noted developers are targeting between 1.5 and 1.75 stalls per unit and that visitor parking should be met with on‑street spaces for retail patrons. He recommended shared parking agreements, possible structured parking with residential above, and that retail parking demand is relatively low in the plan's scenarios.
On traffic, Ben said Washington and Riverdale are major barriers and that UDOT will have to be a partner on any geometric changes — including whether medians are paved or vegetated — and he recommended level‑of‑service studies and possible two‑way street conversions (Chimes and 40th) to preserve emergency access and circulation.
