What is the CAMP and Why Are

We
Developing
It?
OPEN HOUSE
Chautauqua is a very popular destination in the City of Boulder. Increased
Chautauqua visitation over the past decade has created challenges. These include
limited parking and opportunities for access to Chautauqua using other modes of
transportation. This in turn has resulted in impacts to visitors and to people living in
the general vicinity, both in the leasehold area and in the surrounding
neighborhoods.
What is CAMP?
The CAMP is intended to be a tailored access management strategy to balance the access
of the variety of users and modes while also maintaining the natural, built and historic
environments.

Why a CAMP?
The city and the Colorado Chautauqua Association began collecting data and developing
potential pilot programs for the development of a CAMP in 2011.
The lease between the City of Boulder and the CCA was renegotiated in 2015.
New language in the Access and Parking Management section of the lease stipulates the
development of a Chautauqua Access Management Plan (CAMP).
CHAUTAUQUA
ACCESS
MANAGEMENT
PLAN
OPEN HOUSE
What Guides Us?
The following Guiding Principles are from the recently renegotiated

lease between the city and the Colorado Chautauqua Association:
Chautauqua is a unique shared resource requiring unique

solutions.
Chautauqua is a National Historic Landmark.
The needs of all stakeholders, including the Association,
cottage owners, park users, open space users, and neighbors
should be considered.
A mix of uses must be accommodated.
Traffic circulation should be minimized in the interests of
pedestrian safety and user experience.
During peak periods, the parking needs of the users in the
historic core should be prioritized, but not exclusive.
A seasonal transportation demand management (TDM) plan
for employees should be implemented.
The right of public access should not be restricted except for
good cause with such restrictions minimized as appropriate.
The interests of the surrounding neighbors should be
addressed.
Any plan should be flexible to address changing circumstances.
Access management should be consistent with the Guiding

Principles for Place Management and Fiscal Sustainability.
Consistent with the Citys climate commitment and
sustainability and resiliency goals, any plan should support public
transit, alternative modes of transportation, a reduction in
vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and a reduction in visits in single
occupant vehicles.

What Potential Strategies Will

the CAMP Explore?
The CAMP will explore ways to manage existing demand for transportation access including
parking to the Chautauqua area in ways that minimize impacts to visitor experience, natural and
cultural resources, and surrounding neighbors. The plan will also be flexible to deal with potential
future demand.
The CAMP will not explore limiting public access
to the area.
City Council has directed staff to consider the

following options:
Managed parking in the leasehold and/or in surrounding
neighborhoods;
Paid parking in some areas;
Feasible enhancements to other modes of access such as transit
Staff also plans to explore real-time parking

information, ridesharing, incentives, and other
Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
techniques for both visitors and employees to
balance all modes of access to this special place.
What Prior Work Have We Done?
CHAUTAUQUA
ACCESS
MANAGEMENT
PLAN
The City of Boulder and Colorado Chautauqua Association (CCA) have been
studying access to Chautauqua and visitation characteristics for over a decade.
OPEN HOUSE
Past City of Boulder and CCA data collection
included:
A user intercept survey.

Parking studies of Chautauqua and its surrounding
neighborhoods in 2005, 2010, and 2012.
2012 Parking Study Methodology

A parking utilization and duration study (see table below) was performed on three
different event days with high attendance .

data collection included:
Chautauqua visitor surveys collected data such as age,

residency, transportation modes, reasons for visiting OSMP, and
number of visitors and dogs in a group (OSMP-wide: 2004 to 2005
and 2010 to 2011).
Visitation counts (OSMP-wide: 2004 to 2005; Chautauqua areas
only: 2015).
-The Chautauqua study area includes the Chautauqua Meadow and
Enchanted Mesa sub-areas.
Chautauqua Meadow sub-area
visitation monitor station locations.
Enchanted Mesa sub-area
visitation monitor station locations.
To facilitate comparison with prior studies and peak use a variety of days throughout
the summer were chosen. Over these three days, photo survey data and License Plate
Recognition (LPR) data were collected every hour between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

What Do We Know?
There were several key findings from the Chautauqua Parking Analysis
Study and the Chautauqua Study Area Visitation Monitoring Report.
Key Findings from Chautauqua Parking Analysis

Study (2013) and User Intercept Survey (2013):
Use of Chautauqua area
Peak use is seasonal (summer)

As expected, nighttime peak for the auditorium
The site experiences its greates use in the afternoon
Chautauqua Core Area and Dining Hall have steady use
in all time periods
Approximately half 53% of people were heading for
open space with the peak occurring in the afternoon
Chautauqua Green has steady use in the morning and
afternoon but drops off in the evening
Chautauqua Area Parking Demand
80% of Chautauqua visitors arrive by car

Carpooling: average of 2.7 passengers per vehicle
Parking supply adequate for demand most of the year
Parking demand exceeds supply during summer months
-Supply is 478 Spaces in Chautauqua Area
-Summer demand is >700 spaces during peak visitation
Key Findings from OSMP Chautauqua Study

Area Visitation Monitoring Report (2015):
Visitation to OSMP trails was
consistently higher on weekend days
compared to weekdays
Total daily OSMP visits ranged from
188 to 5,126 (average 2,570)
