Public and Stakeholder Outreach
x
July 2015
Issues and Opportunities
Public Outreach –Downtown AreaPublic Identified Issues• 2-hour time limit for parking is a hardship for employees and
visitors• Residents compete for parking with visitors in Beach Drive
parking areas during lunch and dinner hours• Hard for employees to find parking and many decide to park
on the street
• Parking time limits force users who want to stay longer to move their vehicles to a new location
• Expand shuttle service for employees
Public Identified Opportunities• Implement paid parking on weekends along Central
Avenue• Underutilized parking in Rays lots, AI Lang Stadium, Dolphin
lot
Public Outreach –Edge District Public Identified Issues• 2-hour time limit for parking is not enough time for visitor parking• Lack of public parking availability at Tropicana Field on non-game
days• Improve signage, especially to indicate location of
available parking• Growth and development in the area is impacting the
parking supply
Public Identified Opportunities• Baum Avenue designated for public parking rather
than employee parking• Implement metered parking in the District• Shared parking opportunities:
• Tropicana Field parking made available to the public• Evaluate use of private lots (police, businesses, etc.)
