Downtown Parking Study

The City of Arcadia is soliciting proposals for a Downtown Parking Study to assess current and future parking needs within a defined corridor bounded by Santa Anita Avenue, Santa Clara Street, First Avenue, and Huntington Drive, including the Metro A Line parking structure. The study will evaluate existing parking supply and demand, analyze the impacts of recent and planned developments such as the Alexan Azalea mixed-use project, and conduct comprehensive occupancy and duration surveys across two non-consecutive weekdays and one Saturday, operating from 7 AM to 7 PM. The consultant will inventory all parking spaces and restrictions, review current policies, and develop actionable recommendations on parking management, paid parking implementation, enforcement enhancements, operational improvements, and public outreach strategies to optimize utilization and address congestion. Proposals must be submitted by August 24, 2026, under solicitation number 20260729018, with the NAICS code 541611 for management, scientific, and technical consulting services. Primary contact for inquiries is Alana Johnson, reachable via phone or email. The work will be performed in Arcadia, California, with an optional scope for additional on-street parking data collection. The city seeks a qualified consultant to deliver data-driven insights and practical solutions aimed at improving parking efficiency and supporting the vitality of downtown Arcadia.
