Barclays Center On ‐ Street Parking Impact Study New York City Department of Transportation September 26, 2013 September 26, 2013 | Community Initiatives | Traffic and Planning Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan New York City Department of Transportation

Study Purpose • To determine the extent and nature of parking demand induced by event ‐ goers to the Barclays Center • A follow up to a 2011 on ‐ street parking data collection that examined parking conditions around the arena site September 26, 2013 | Community Initiatives | Traffic and Planning Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan New York City Department of Transportation

Study Area • Areas in Brooklyn roughly ½ mile from Barclays Center – Bounded by Dekalb, Vanderbilt, Union, and 3 rd Avenue – Includes parts of Boerum Hill, Clinton Hill, Ft.

Study Methods • Time ‐ lapse camera data collection (17 locations) : – Parking occupancy: a measure of the percentage of spaces occupied on any given block – Turnover: a measure of how long, on average, a vehicle spends parked • License Plate Readers (390 blockfaces) : – Determines if parked vehicles are registered locally • Data collected From April 6 th ‐ 13 th , 2014 September 26, 2013 | Community Initiatives | Traffic and Planning Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan New York City Department of Transportation

Data Collection Locations Close Zone (4 locations) Intermediate Zone (5 locations) Far Zone (8 locations) September 26, 2013 | Community Initiatives | Traffic and Planning Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan New York City Department of Transportation

Study Findings The increase in parking occupancy is observed throughout the study area: Weekday Evenings: Weeknight Occupancy – No Event September 26, 2013 | Community Initiatives | Traffic and Planning Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan New York City Department of Transportation

Study Findings The increase in parking occupancy is observed throughout the study area: Weekday Evenings: Weeknight Occupancy – During Event September 26, 2013 | Community Initiatives | Traffic and Planning Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan New York City Department of Transportation

Study Findings The increase in parking occupancy is observed throughout the study area: Weekday Evenings: Change in Occupancy During Events September 26, 2013 | Community Initiatives | Traffic and Planning Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan New York City Department of Transportation

Study Findings Data indicates that more blocks “fill up” on event days, but most blocks still have available spots. Proportion of block faces at high occupancy (>85%) between 6pm and 7pm 100% 90% 80% Basketball Event 70% 60% Nets Game Game Midday 50% Nets 40% Concert Evening 30% 20% 10% 0% Sat 4/6 Sun 4/7 Mon 4/8 Tues 4/9 Weds 4/10 Fri 4/12 Sat 4/13 September 26, 2013 | Community Initiatives | Traffic and Planning Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan New York City Department of Transportation

Study Findings The increases in parking occupancy on metered blocks is significantly higher than on non ‐ metered blocks: Weekdays 100% 90% +9% 80% +26% 70% Occupancy 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Metered Unmetered No Nets Game Nets Game September 26, 2013 | Community Initiatives | Traffic and Planning Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan New York City Department of Transportation

Study Findings Proportion of out ‐ of ‐ area parkers does not change significantly on event days.

Summary • Parking occupancy increased on event days; however, most sampled blocks still had available spaces. • Occupancy was highest closer to the arena and diminished away from the arena, both on event and non ‐ event days • Data indicates that parking impact of arena events was more significant on metered blocks. – Metered spaces become free at 7 pm, near the start of most arena events. – These blocks typically have overnight street cleaning regulations that discourage overnight parking. – Adjusting meter turn ‐ off time to later in the evening may shift event parkers to non ‐ metered spaces.
