Parking Design

Project

Project Overview

DeShazo Group provided a detailed review and design recommendations for a new 102-space surface parking lot and overall traffic circulation for the campus. The study balanced peak activity needs, safety, and existing site constraints to optimize access and parking supply.

⛪ Religious + Educational Facilities | 📍 Dallas, Texas‍‍
📐 Scope: Parking lot design review, access planning, and traffic circulation analysis
🏢 Client: St. Michael-All Angels Episcopal Church and School

🚗 Traffic & Parking Data Collection

1. Conducted comprehensive data collection during key activity periods including Sunday services and Mother’s Day Out events
2. Analyzed peak parking demands and traffic flow patterns to identify congestion and overflow issues

🅿️ Parking Lot & Access Design Alternatives

1. Developed three alternative parking layout schemes, each improving circulation and maximizing parking capacity
2. Assessed access from private alleys, maintaining existing traffic flow due to site grade constraints

Strategic Highlights

🚦 Thoughtful Planning for Safe, Efficient Parking and Traffic Flow

Enhancing campus accessibility while respecting existing site conditions and community needs.

2. Recommended removal of on-street parking near intersections to enhance visibility and safety

🔐

♿ Special Needs & Enforcement Measures

1. Suggested designated “special needs” parking during peak services alongside standard accessible spaces
2. Recommended enforcement strategies to prevent unsafe parking near critical intersections and drop-off zones
