Downtown Parking Deck Planning and Designs

Based on multiple parking studies of Dahlonega’s historic downtown district, local leaders determined the need for more parking near the public square. Working with the Dahlonega Downtown Development Authority, three potential sites were selected for these additional spaces. As a part of the Dahlonega Downtown Renaissance Fellowship, various parking deck and infill development concepts were studied and envisioned for these three sites. The proposed design concepts offer easily accessible parking options for visitors and business owners and highlight potential areas for future development. By including possible future mixed-use infill development, these concepts offer Dahlonega options for expanding businesses and attracting downtown living. This section also includes options for beautifying parking lots to encourage the use of underutilized parking areas and improve the function and appearance of existing parking facilities.
