The City of Hollywood and Walker Consultants are preparing a long range parking plan for the Hollywood Beach Barrier Island. As part of the planning process, we want to learn more about parking and travel patterns of beach employees, residents, visitors, guests and business owners and gauge perspectives toward parking-related issues. Your response to this survey is very valuable to us. Your input will help shape solutions that will enable us to provide for effective and efficient use of your public parking assets with a goal of ensuring public access to the Barrier Island.

Although we realize that travel modes may change from day to day, please tell us about your typical travel and/or parking experiences on the Barrier Island. Total time to complete the survey is about eight to ten minutes.

We thank you in advance for your participation in the planning process.

Sincerely, The City of Hollywood and Walker Consultants

On February 15th, Walker Consultants met with a few of our board
members to gather insights on parking in the beach area. The city has
hired this firm to study and make recommendations to improve parking
and to suggest solutions. Besides providing spaces for patrons of
beach businesses there is a need to offer affordable parking for
employees. According to Jim Corbett of Walker, they are meeting with
various civic associations and will be walking our area to count and
evaluate parking.
