Major venues include the Grand <br />Wayne Center Convention Center, the Wayne County Public <br />Library, the historic and beautifully-restored Embassy Theater, the <br />Botanical Gardens, a Marriott Hotel, and a number of restaurants. <br />The area also includes regional headquarters for American Electric Power, a large public utility <br />company and major downtown employer. The need for this downtown municipal parking <br />study was prompted by planned expansions of both the public library and the Grand Wayne <br />Center. Both facilities were slated to begin their expansion projects simultaneously. The <br />parking study was to verify current parking demand, and estimate new parking demand <br />created by the planned expansions. <br /> <br />Shreveport DDA <br />Shreveport, Louisiana <br /> <br />Carl Walker, Inc. was selected by the Shreveport <br />Downtown Development Authority to complete a <br />Parking Supply/Demand Study and Alternatives Analysis <br />to address the growing parking demand associated with <br />two riverboat casino/hotels, retail, dining, and leisure <br />offerings in the Red River Entertainment District. The <br />Downtown Development Authority and the City of <br />Shreveport believe that providing additional parking will <br />be a key element in the continued revitalization of the downtown area. The study identified a <br />net demand of approximately 450 additional spaces to meet peak demand periods. The <br />peak parking demand in Shreveport is not typical of most downtowns due to the strong <br />impact of the entertainment district and the casinos. Special events in the downtown, such as <br />"Revel" and "Mudbug Madness" also create significant parking challenges. <br /> <br /> <br />
