pRELIMINARY SITE STUDIES : EVALUATION NOTES <br />TYpICAL PARKING DECK <br />The last diagram illustrates a typical parking deck <br />configuration. In this case it is the Washington <br />Mutual Block, however a similar deck could be <br />constructed above the transit center on any of the <br />four blocks being considered. This shows that about <br />130 parking spaces can be developed, and if the <br />principle is no net loss of parking then the use of the <br />roof or deck for replacing this parking may be <br />necessary. The City of Salem has experienced <br />approx. $9,000 per space in their development of <br />parking structures. We suggest $10,000 for budget <br />purposes. <br />An elevator is required, to meet the ADA and <br />accessibility code. Stairs are required for fire <br />exiting. There was discussion at the Advisory <br />Committee meetings regarding the potential of <br />connecting to the Salem Downtown Skywalk system, <br />which would enhance the convenience of <br />uninterrupted, climate controlled, pedestrian access <br />to the center from other parts of downtown core, at <br />least when the skywalk is open during retail hours. <br />A 2 way vehicular access ramp is therefore required. <br />This can be a 90 ft. diam spiral, about the same <br />dimensions as a typical residendal cul de sac <br />turnaround, or can be a straight ramp, but these get <br />very long. The diagram show the ramp sharing space <br />with the gas stadon. <br />3 FALCON Architecture & P/anning <br />
