If left unresolved, current conditions will lead to greater congestion of parking facilities and further compromises in service quality. Vehicles are in poor condition and are in need of replacement.

Estimates to address unmet needs are dependent upon planned levels of service. Structures are in a state of advancing decay. The deferred maintenance projects identified above will address urgent needs at four garages. Other existing garages also require significant annual maintenance. In light of the high occupancy levels currently observable in the core, the pending losses of spaces to construction projects, and the potential increases in demand, especially for hourly public parking, it is clear that new parking supply must be provided.
