Parking and Curb Management Planning

Parking planning for cities, downtowns, and neighborhoods

Studio Davis helps communities understand how parking functions on the ground and develop management strategies that support the places it serves. Our work ranges from inventories and demand studies to pricing, permits, curb management, and development-code reform.

Our approach

A useful parking plan starts with the purpose of the system and the people using it. We combine field observation, GIS, operating records, and community input to distinguish a busy block from a wider shortage, understand employee and visitor needs, and assess whether nearby spaces are genuinely usable.

Recommendations connect management choices with the authority, staffing, resources, and communication needed to carry them out. The result is a practical sequence of actions, with ways to evaluate what is working.
