Parking Structures Projects G-Q Total Cost

The June 13 2023 Parking and Transportation Demand Management Plan addresses nine parking structures G-O (Table 2 page 67), the Present Value of all parking structures current and previously proposed are Projects G thru Q shown in this chart. The total cost of all the projects is $326,000,000 for roughly  1700 added spaces, that's $192,000 per added space. What logic suggests parking a visitor Toyota in a $192,000 space?

 
The costs in these estimates include:
  • Construction Costs
  • Land Cost (were applicable)
  • Opportunity Costs
  • In-Lieu Fees
  • Debt Service
  • Operation and Maintenance
  • Demolition and Salvage

The costs NOT included in these estimates are:

  • Bond Premiums
  • Soil Remediation
  • Parking Enforcement,  
  • Environment (quakes, floods)
  • Depreciation
  • Inflation and Taxes

Given Laguna residents are already obligated for $500 Million in debt for  undergrounding power utilities, all these projects are due approval by public vote.                        

  Let Laguna VOTE!
