City Asking Residents for Feedback on Downtown Parking via Online Survey, Public Meetings

The City of El Paso invites the public to participate in an online survey and public meetings to help shape its comprehensive Downtown Parking Study.

“One of the most important goals of this study is to ensure that residents, employees, and visitors have easy and quick access to parking spaces making downtown shopping more attractive and livable,” City of El Paso International Bridges Department Director David Coronado, who oversees the City’s Parking Meter Division.

The study aims to enhance the City’s parking management strategies in an effort to balance the demand and supply of parking in the downtown area.

The study will address several elements including conducting a full inventory of all parking spaces in the downtown area both public and privately owned, on- and off-street.

The survey asks downtown residents, employees and visitors for opinions on parking conditions and accessibility, and provides the opportunity to give the City feedback on customer experience.

The survey along with the planned community meetings scheduled for late January aim to engage the public and key downtown stakeholders such as, the Downtown Management District and the Central Business Association.

At the community meetings the public will be able to provide input on the study’s preliminary findings and observations regarding parking management strategies in the downtown areas. Public meeting dates and locations are listed below.
