One of the early implementation actions associated with the Overlake Neighborhood Plan update is a parking management study which will lead to a Parking Management Plan for Overlake.  The Overlake Parking Management Plan will support the development of the neighborhood as a vibrant and attractive destination for shopping, working, living, recreation and entertainment.  In September, the City hired Fehr & Peers / Mirai, a consulting firm, to conduct the Parking Management Study.  Work on this study will continue through June 2009.  The questions this study will address include:

• What are current parking management "best practices" for successful urban centers similar to Overlake?
  
• Based on an analysis and evaluation of the recently updated parking regulations and incentives for Overlake, are additional updates recommended?
  
• What parking management tools are most appropriate for Redmond to implement in Overlake?
  
• What short- and long-term action strategies are recommended for managing current and future parking needs, including financing and enforcement?

Upcoming Events

Three public meetings will be held on December 8 and 9 to learn about and discuss three primary questions: 

• How can parking support the land use and transportation vision?
• What parking strategies are available and how can they be used?
• What are the trade-offs associated with new parking strategies?

The same presentation will be given at each session, so please attend the one that is most convenient for you.  All sessions will be held in the Council Conference Room at Redmond City Hall, 15670 NE 85th St.
