Emory Midtown Aims to Use Parking Consolidation To Create Urbanism On & Off Campus

Quote:
"People do not think of a parking deck as a catalyst for promoting urbanism, but through active collaboration with Commissioner [Tim] Keane and his staff, the proposed Emory University Hospital Midtown (EUHM) parking deck does just that," the hospital said in a statement.

...

"Emory now uses shuttles to pick up employees parked across several leased lots in the area," said Keane. "By consolidating parking in one space, they’ll leave the option for more active land use on those lots. The base floor of the deck is also going to have active retail, further intensifying and urbanizing the area."

...








Props to Tim Keane and bringing some good design and urbanism to this parking deck plan.

This is great to see. Good contrast to that proton center in terms of neighborhood interaction.

I'd feel better about this if Emory removed the rest of their parking lots and decks, but given their track record, I doubt it.

I've never understood why developers don't make their parking decks more attractive.

Slap in a few shops at street level and you might even generate some income.

Well, do remember that it is a hospital, and many of the people going there are, you know, sick or injured. Why wife had her recent surgery at Emory Midtown, and that place was slammed full of people. And I'm glad I didn't have to drag her blocks away afterwards.

I can understand patient parking being close by, but employees would not be in the same boat.

We had to get my sister-in-law from the hospital recently and the attendant brought her around to the patient pickup area. No way she could have walked several blocks.

Yeah just putting this out there- you are not supposed to make them walk multiple blocks after surgery or a handful of other items when they are weaker. You are supposed to pick them up as close as possible to the exit.
