Project: Parking Structure/Lot
General Use: 455 total parking spaces in lot (net gain of 246 spaces)
Square Feet: N/A
Status: Completed
Engineer: Associtated Engineering, Inc.
Budgeted: $3,896,285
Cost:
Construction Start: February 2009
Opening: August 2009
Project Goal
Update: February 8, 2008Provide additional parking at the East Campus in the most cost effective manner.
YCCD purchased a 3.75 acre parcel of land on the west side of Tully Road for the expansion of a parking on Modesto Junior College's East Campus. The parcel is adjacent to land already owned by the district, part of which is currently developed as a 200-space parking lot. The new land will allow the district to add 237 parking spaces, bringing the lot total up to 455 spaces. When the land suddenly became available for purchase, the district and college chose to pursue development of this flat surface parking expansion because this alternative will cost less, produce more spaces and can be completed much faster than construction of a multi-level parking garage. The project could be completed as early as the end of 2008. This site will be updated as new project plans become available.
Overview
The Facilities Master Plan (FMP) and the Measure E Bond Campaign envisioned a multi-level parking structure to help alleviate parking congestion at Modesto Junior College (MJC) East Campus. Because MJC East Campus is in an urban setting that is currently landlocked on every side of campus with surrounding development, parking structures may ultimately become the only effective solution to alleviate parking congestion without eliminating needed green space. The unfortunate reality with this circumstance is parking structures cost more than surface parking lots when land cost is not considered. Due to this reality, the MJC Measure E Coordinating Committee requested we conduct a parking study to consider other, perhaps less costly, parking solutions.
As requested by the measure E Coordination Committee Kitchell produced a parking study that included five alternatives for increasing parking at MJC east campus. Three of the options were parking structures and two options were surface parking solutions. All five alternates included projected project costs, total spaces, net spaces, as well as commentary on safety, circulation and expandability.
