Downtown Parking Study
Consultation has concluded
Background
Downtown Golden has continued to grow and evolve as a major destination for the community, business and visitors. This success also brings challenges, and one of the largest is parking management.
City staff and our consultant team have begun a downtown parking study. The intent is to determine how various elements can best come together to create a more efficient system to manage ongoing parking demand. The study will complement other efforts, such as the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan to support an accessible and vibrant downtown Golden. The geographic boundary of the study generally encompasses the area from Highway 58 on the north end to 15th Street on the south end, and Maple Street from the west to East Street on the eastern side of town.
Over the course of the engagement process, the community will be asked to provide input on parking- and transportation-related challenges in the downtown area, which will later be used to formulate potential parking management solutions that could help the City manage its parking resources more efficiently.
