Abstract
This project is carried out on request of the BVOW, the interest group of the neighbourhoods Olofsbuurt and Westerkwartier in Delft, in order to propose solutions for the parking issue of Spoorzone Delft expected between 2015 and 2017. They are worried that parking disturbances will emerge in their neighbourhoods when the parking places of Spoorzone Delft will be removed. Indeed, in 2015 the parking places that are currently situated below the viaduct will disappear due to the removal of the viaduct and will be replaced in 2017 by an underground parking. Thus, between 2015 and 2017 a shortage in parking places might occur. In addition, the current parking capacity of the nearby neighbourhoods Olofsbuurt-Westerkwartier cannot compensate the temporal loss of parking places, as it already now regularly suffers from a lack of parking capacity itself. The goal of this report is to find solutions in order to prevent or solve this parking problem and to provide an answer to the main research question: “How can the expected parking problems, due to construction works in the Spoorzone Delft, be prevented and/or solved in a feasible way, concerning technical, socio-political, and economic aspects?” The Spoorzone Project is explained in order to better understand the background of the problem. The actors that are involved in the removal of the parking places are the contractors that are directly involved in the construction of the project Spoorzone Delft, the users of the parking places and other actors such as the municipality, the BVOW and the shops located in parking area C (neighbourhood Olofsbuurt-Westerkwartier). Criteria based on a requirements analysis are made and an evaluation of in total 54 means is presented, generated from ideas submitted by respondents of a survey and actors interviewed, as from ideas coming from a brainstorm session. A means-end diagram is presented, after which finally in which 12 solutions for addressing the parking challenges in the Spoorzone are constructed.
