DDD Conducts Survey on Mobility and Parking Needs

July 7th, 2008

The Downtown Development District of New Orleans is conducting an online survey to gather information on the mobility and parking needs in and around Downtown New Orleans. Residents, business owners, visitors, employees, and tourists are all encouraged to log on and complete the short survey.

The survey is part of the DDD’s Mobility and Parking Study, which is currently underway. Information gathered from the survey will supplement information gained through a series of focus groups held throughout the summer. The study area includes all of Downtown, including the Warehouse Arts District, the Central Business District, Lafayette Square, and the Medical District. The study area also includes the French Quarter and the Marigny Triangle.

The DDD has undertaken this study as part of its effort to assist Planning District 1 in implementation of the Unified New Orleans Plan. Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates is leading the study team. The team’s work consists of an inventory of currently available parking, utilization of parking, an analysis of pedestrian and bicycle accessibility and conditions, and a series of focus groups with stakeholders. The study is scheduled to be completed in November 2008.
