Repurposing the paving: The case of surplus residential parking in Davis, CA
https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4284-2882
AbstractThe city of Davis, CA, has a rich history of high bicycling levels, and the city has ambitious transportation policies and goals. However, both the city of Davis and transportation scholars have overlooked the potential opportunities a surplus of on-street residential parking provides to cities. The existing literature on the influence of parking policy and provision has focused primarily on commercial districts and on large metropolises, neglecting parking in more purely residential areas. In this descriptive case study, we systematically observed the number of cars on a transect of residential streets in the early morning and late evening on weekdays to conservatively estimate the average peak parking demand by residents as a percentage of available parking spaces. On average, only 2 in 7 available parking spaces were occupied during peak hours. We note that the over-provision of on-street parking in residential neighborhoods could be a nexus for the city to achieve its sustainable transportation policy goals while addressing its fiscal and housing supply challenges. We discuss possible design solutions, including providing ecosystem services, implementing traffic calming measures, and creating accessory dwelling units.
HighlightsWe count cars parked on residential streets at peak hours of demand in Davis, CA.We estimate the streets' rates of parking occupation on weekdays.On average, only two of seven on-street parking spots are used during peak hours.Given pavement maintenance funding shortfalls, we discuss design solutions.Possible street redesign solutions include ADUs, bioswales, and traffic calming.
