3a - Toronto Parking Authority - Multi-Year Plan for 'Greening' Surface Parking Lots
Origin
Summary
This report serves to outline the Toronto Parking Authority's multi-year plan to retrofit and apply the design guidelines outlined in the Design Guidelines for 'Greening' Surface Parking Lots ('Greening Guidelines'). The Toronto Parking Authority ('TPA' or 'the Authority') recognizes the need to incorporate environmentally responsible features in all of its parking facilities, adopting a less conventional approach when designing its surface carparks, where typically maximizing the numbers of parking spaces, maintenance and servicing efficiencies are priority considerations. This report will address the Authority's multi-year plan for 'greening', whereby the TPA will retrofit its existing and future surface parking lots.
The application of the Greening Guidelines at the Toronto Parking Authority will occur with:
- New Development/Acquisition of Surface Parking Lots and Garages
- Major Redevelopment Initiatives
- Retrofitting in conjunction with the Surface Carpark Repaving Program
The majority of existing surface parking lots will require retrofitting in conjunction with the Surface Carpark Repaving Program. TPA has identified about 130 carparks that need 'greening', that is, approximately 7 carparks per year in a 19 year time span between 2015 and 2033. TPA staff has determined that given its existing staff resources a maximum of 7 carparks per year can be retrofitted.
