  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Parking Space Estimation in the City of Portland Author: Colder, Ashley, Weakley, Madison, Zoeller, J. Robert Year: 2016 This project is a collaboration with Portland Bureau of Transportation, to study city required parking lots spaces, and allowed on-street parking space in Portland. As the city begins to re-evaluate its transportation systems to encourage more travel by buses, trains, and bikes, we want to explore what is the current parking situation by the city of Portland. To understand better about the parking situation in Portland, and how this might affect the parking policies in the future in Portland. The scope of this project is limited to East Portland. The group was assigned to the Far-Southeast (Far-SE) area. The Far-SE TSP is bounded by East Burnside Street on the north, the I-205 freeway on the west, and the city limits on the east and south. The TriMet MAX Blue line runs east-west along the northern boundary and the MAX Green line runs north-south on the west. Major topographic features include Powell and Kelly Buttes as well as Johnson Creek. The predominant land use is low-density, single-family residential on relatively large lots, although there has been a significant amount of infill development through subdivision of large lots. Commercial development stretches along the five main arterials running through the district (Division Street, Powell Boulevard, Foster Road, Stark Street, and 122nd Avenue) and is generally low density.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Parking in Northwest: Finding a Spot in a Mix-Use Community Author: Bricker, Scott, Cooper, Colin, Gately, Jason, Swope, Tim Year: 1998 The purpose of this study is to ground the Office of Neighborhood Involvement (ONI) facilitator in the nature of parking issues relevant to Northwest. A comprehensive examination of parking in Northwest will include a review of past efforts, an analysis of the parking-supply and demand, and a detailed review of program and policy alternatives that may be applied in Northwest. The research has two primary goals: 1) is to provide objective data that will be acceptable to both the Northwest District Association (NWDA) and Nob Hill Business Association (NHBA) and 2) to provide policy analyses to ground stakeholders in parking theory and parking management techniques. The study is divided into four main sections. Section 1 is the introduction and history section. Section 2 provides a background to the parking issue through a brief historical and cultural analysis of the Northwest neighborhood past and present. It provides an analysis of the parking supply and parking demand using a variety of past studies. The section frames parking in a regional context and includes a presentation of past studies, relevant data and their sources. Section 3 examines policy and program alternatives that may be relevant to Northwest. These "alternatives" are comprised of parking management techniques that have been tried in many municipalities and in other parts Portland. The analysis in Section 3 presents these policies in an objective format. Lastly is an appendix that contains an annotated bibliography, a shared parking study and summaries of major historical documents.
