Item Summary
On April 26, 2022, WGI, Inc. presented the new Downtown Parking Master Plan to the City Council. The plan was in response to the recommendations in the Downtown Master Plan update that was approved on June 9, 2020. The purpose of the Plan is to inform the development of an efficient, cost-effective, and customer-focused parking management plan, leveraging current assets to support and promote continued growth in the downtown district.
In addition to adopting the Downtown Parking Master Plan, the City Council directed staff to prepare a resolution for the City Council to establish a Downtown Parking Task Force. This resolution allows the City Council to designate a citizen-led Task Force for parking in Downtown Lubbock. The Committee will review the adopted Downtown Parking Master Plan, and develop an appropriate implementation matrix, including recommendations and timing specific to the unique needs associated with the various zones and parking patterns in Downtown. The Committee will present their recommendations to the Central Business District TIF Board, and then to the Lubbock City Council.
