Parking & Mobility

 

421 N. 10th St. Property: The Agency initiated its vision to transform Block 68 and nearby parcels in the Westside District by acquiring this property in early 2018. The property included an aging commercial building and a small surface lot, which the Agency converted to public parking and made available for $5 a day throughout 2023. This property is currently subject to a land exchange agreement with the Treasure Valley YMCA and is the intended future location of the new downtown Boise YMCA. To prepare the property for redevelopment, the Agency performed asbestos remediation and demolished the building and site improvements in December and January. An additional environmental assessment will be performed prior to transacting the land exchange with the YMCA which is to occur no later than August 15, 2024. More information concerning redevelopment is under the Westside District Block 68 Catalytic Redevelopment Project. Project Lead: Alexandra Monjar

Capitol and Myrtle Garage Elevator Modernization: The Agency is in the process of updating the elevator at the Cap & Myrtle Garage. The current unit is 20+ years old and parts are no longer available. A pre bid meeting was held February 20th at 10am and had a good intertest in the project by at least three contractors. Bid closing date was Friday March 13 at 3pm with four bidders. Barrier Building was the low bidder, and a Resolution will be created and presented to the board at the April Board meeting for approval. Project Lead: Aaron Nelson

City Go: This partnership of Valley Regional Transit, the City of Boise, ACHD Commuteride, Boise State University, St Luke’s Hospital, Downtown Boise Association, and CCDC involves marketing its alternative transportation products and services to the downtown community. The CCDC Board approved a renewed Memorandum of Understanding for City Go at its October 2020 meeting. In response to a request from VRT, the Agency has included a $60,000 contribution to City Go in the FY2024 budget for CCDC. An overview is located at citygoboise.com. Project Lead: Zach Piepmeyer

Rooftop Solar Feasibility Study: In support of the City’s Climate Action goals, the Agency initiated this study to determine the feasibility of installing rooftop solar arrays on each of the six current ParkBOI facilities downtown. Kimley-Horn & Associates was selected from the Agency’s on-call roster to study each of the structures and their suitability for solar under current Idaho Power rate structures and various solar array ownership models. Kimley-Horn will deliver a final report to the Agency in March 2024 following the Idaho Public Utilities Commission approval of requested rate changes from Idaho Power for solar providers. The consultant deliverable will outline the analysis process, findings, and recommendations on solar array implementation for each garage. Staff presented study findings to the Board at the March 2024 Board Meeting. Project Lead: Aaron Nelson/Zach Piepmeyer

Parking Access and Revenue Collection System (PARCS) Replacement: The existing system for controlling public entry/exit and payment for parking within five of the six ParkBOI facilities is approaching 10 years in service in 2024. Although the existing system is still operational, its functionality is limited compared to newer technologies and industry best practice is for PARCS replacement every 10 years. Through an RFQ process, the Agency hired Kimley-Horn & Associates to assist with analyzing the current facilities and current PARCS equipment, investigate current PARCS technologies on the market that would be suitable for ParkBOI facilities, lead stakeholder outreach to define desirable PARCS characteristics, assist the Agency in developing a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure the new PARCS, and manage the installation and testing phase of the project.  The consultant prepared final Existing Conditions, PARCS Assessment and Best Practices Report in late March 2024. Installation of the new PARCS in the ParkBOI facilities is anticipated to begin in late 2024. Project Lead: Zach Piepmeyer
