History: where the mandate for the new Parking Study came from
There was a traffic impact study done by DOT in connection with the PUD (Planned Unit Development) for Remington Row. That TIF is here.
An appendix to that Traffic Impact study looks at the parking in the area immediately surrounding Remington Row. This restricted parking analysis is here.
The point of the new comprehensive parking study, that has just started, is explained in the Parking Analysis:
"Although the construction of the development will increase the number of on-street parking spaces, it is suggested that prior to 60% occupancy of the full site, that DOT initiate a comprehensive parking study of the Remington neighborhood to present and evaluate alternatives to better manage on-street parking supply with demand."
The current survey will gather the facts that will enable DOT to "better manage on-street parking supply and demand."

Statement from DOT regarding the kick-off meeting for the Remington Parking Study
"The Remington Row Development Traffic Impact Mitigation Agreement approved November 19, 2014 included in the mitigation measures a contribution in the amount of $25,000.00 to fund a parking study for the Remington neighborhood. . . . DOT has now initiated the parking study. . . .
The purpose of the public meeting is:
To introduce the parking study team (DOT, Parking Authority and Consultants).
Review the TIS findings and parking study completed for the Remington Row Development in 2014.
Information on what a parking study includes (what it looks at, how it analyzes, and what recommendations are possible) and what is not included in a parking study.
Open discussion of the scope of the Remington neighborhood parking study (study area, resident observations of peak parking hours, parking demand, parking supply, etc.). . . .
While this approach of scoping a study at the initial public meeting is not typical, a commitment was made in 2014 to meet with the neighborhood and scope the study together. This approach is to ensure that the entire neighborhood's parking issues are addressed in the study."
