PARKING ADEQUACY AROUND GAISANO DEPARTMENT STORE, ILIGAN CITY

Prepared by: Kenny B. Cantila

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

1. How many on-street and off-street parking spaces are available at Aguinaldo Street, Nanaman Street, Cabili Avenue, Mercado Street, Baslayan Street, and Quezon Avenue? 2. What is the average hourly parking demand for the selected streets? 3. What is the average hourly parking index in the area? 4. Does the parking supply for each street is still adequate to accommodate parkers?

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

1. Estimate the number of on-street and off-street parking supply using

the IRC Standards for the following locations: a) Aguinaldo Street; b) Nanaman Street; c) Cabili Avenue; d) Mercado Street; e) Baslayan Street; and f) Quezon Avenue 2. Calculate the average hourly parking demand in the study area using the parking accumulation data. 3. Compare the estimated parking efficiency for the selected streets using the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Standards. 4. Evaluate the parking adequacy in the area

1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The study will provide reliable information on magnitude of parking usage and parking adequacy within the study area. This can be accomplished by constructing the parking accumulation curve, computing the parking load, knowing the parking capacity and estimating the parking efficiency for each street of the study area. These parameters will serve as a guide in analyzing the present parking setting. At present time, urban planners encounter with great challenges when it comes to parking matters as they find difficulties on how to manage an area particularly in the central business district where parking space is very limited. At the same time, parkers are also stressed about this issue as they are the users of parking stalls. However, in order to address this problem and to help them, the data of this study will be very useful to traffic schemers for parking analysis purposes and it will serve as a powerful guide in designing, planning, and constructing parking spaces for the betterment of parking conditions not only for current situation but also for future application.

Parking Accumulation is the number of vehicles accumulated at particular time interval. This is usually expressed by accumulation curve which is obtained by plotting the total number of cars (represented by different colors) occupying the bays of a certain parking area with respect to a specific time interval. Parking load gives the area under the accumulation curve. It can also be obtained by simply multiplying the number of vehicles occupying the parking area at each time interval with the time interval. It is expressed as vehicle hours. Parking index is also called occupancy or eciency. It is dened as the ratio of number of bays occupied in a time duration to the total space available. It gives an aggregate measure of how eectively the parking space is utilized. Parking index can be found out as follows parking index = (parking load/ parking capacity )* 100 Parking capacity is the product of parking supply S (which is considered as full at any time) and time duration

The Urban Land Institute Standards on Parking Adequacy

90% 80% 70% Parking Efficiency According from Parking Usage Study (2010), occupancies of 85-90% or just below are considered ideal- the demand is being met without waste. According to Walker (2005), when parking occupancy exceeds the effective capacity of the lot (typically 8590% of total capacity), users become frustrated as it becomes increasingly difficult to find an available parking space. Hence, the accepted effective fill percentage for parking in the city is 90%. This 10% cushion of spaces is used to accommodate spaces lost temporarily due to construction, improper or illegal parking, and provide for shorter searches for available parking.
