Description

• Parking lots for residents and NYCHA vehicles are needed to allow for mobility and servicing of grounds including maintenance and cleanup.  NYCHA parking lots have historically been paved with asphalt, however light-colored (high-albedo) materials are preferred for any new work. Typical work includes new pavement, vehicular drop curb, striping, signage, wheel-stops, guardrails, vehicle access controls, ADA parking spaces, and accessible ramps to walkways. 
• Related work includes installation of security cameras and earthwork. 

Baseline

• When scope of work includes parking, external regulatory guidelines must be meet the regulations of: NYC DOT, NYCHA (including standard lighting and signage), UFAS, NYC Building Code, ADA/VCA and ADAAG.
•  New parking lots should include accessible ramps for residents, with appropriate curb cuts. 
• Parking spaces should be maintained with clear lines of sight and no obstructions.
•  Fixed bollards should be located at entrances. 
• Lots must contain required drainage and meet all requirements for storm water management based on area of site disturbance.  Filings should be made to NYC DEP for Storm Water Management plans.

Stretch

• When possible, permeable pavements should be used for improved site drainage. When specifying permeable pavements, maintenance of permeable function should be considered and planned for. 
• Where space allows, parking lots should designate charging stations for electric vehicles, micro-mobility, and battery back-ups.  If solar charging stations are proposed, they should be in areas free of obstruction and trees that would shade panels. Any proposals to this effect must be coordinated with NYCHA. 
• Where possible, standard bicycle racks should be provided at a minimum number of 1 bicycle parking space per 10 car spaces. When funding allows and residents support, secure bicycle parking should be provided.
