1,100 cars on a single block is a blight…
Queuing during entering and leaving causes traffic congestion
Giant paved area leads to storm water runoff, “heat island” effect
Air quality impact from unfiltered exhaust
Noise and activity disruptive to nearby residents

…and 800-900 isn’t much better

That’s why NYC regulates surface lot design
Standards adopted in 2007: Mitigate vast expanses of pavement through
landscaping Improve quality of local streetscape Increase tree canopy to reduce “heat island
effect” Increase permeability to reduce storm water
runoff Improve pedestrian and vehicular circulation
and safety

Better design helps mitigate parking impact
19
Reduce capacity to 500 spaces
Use permeable pavement
Locate entrances on Pacific Street to avoid traffic using and blocking residential streets
Include kiosk to better integrate with neighborhood

Parking should not be an end state
Block 1129 was to be the site of affordable housing, “publicly accessible” open space, and a public school; these benefits continue to be important to the community and need to be delivered
20
Other options may exist for programming parking that support earlier delivery of promised public benefits as well as address local concerns about impacts from the surface lot
