Jefferson Parish Library-Old Metairie and Lakeshore Branches

BURK-KLEINPETER, INC. was retained to examine parking demand and management issues at two branches of the Jefferson Parish Library: Old Metairie and Lakeshore. BKI made recommendations from the study which were also used at each of the remaining branches in the Eastbank system (a total of 7) including a newly proposed Eastbank Regional Library.

BKI developed a series of improvements to general parking area management based on analysis of facility demands collected by survey and field review of operational sites, zoning ordinance standards, and facility site plans. Updates to signage, parking area layouts, facility expansion, and library policies concerning facility utilization were all included as part of the final recommended improvement program.
