WHEREAS the Kimley-Horn consultant team developed a number of planning and design alternatives for the various SCTOD project elements; and throughout the extensive public/stakeholder input process, concerns were raised about the future development and additional parking expected in the Capitol East District and how that would impact traffic, bicycle and pedestrian conditions in the SCTOD Planning District; and
WHEREAS Kimley-Horn will assist the City of Madison with the evaluation and planning for future parking investments and parking management strategies within the Capital East District, including the development of a parking demand modeling platform (Park+), analysis of future parking demand scenarios and traffic impacts on arterial streets within that District and the SCTOD Planning District; and
