Peak Parking Accumulation Study
On Wednesday August 21, 2013 a Peak Parking Accumulation Study was conducted between
7:00 and 9:00 AM at the Robins Nest Daycare facility located at 1608 Bridge Street, Dracut, MA.
This facility is similar to the Proposed Daycare facility to be located at 102 Peters Street in North
Andover, MA in the way the parking lot will operate. At both the existing Robins Nest Daycare
facility and the Proposed Daycare facility, parking for parental arrivals and departures occurs in
front of the building.
A total of 35 vehicles were observed to arrive at the Robins Nest Daycare facility during the two
hour study period between 7:00 and 9:00 AM, 3 staff vehicles and 32 parental vehicles. Fifty-
eight children were signed-in to the facility that day, 48 before 9:00 AM. A maximum of seven
vehicles were observed parked on-site between 7:00 and 9:00 AM. The seven vehicles were
observed on three occasions over a total of 5 minutes and 34 seconds. If the observed parking
data were adjusted to account for the proposed 39 children Daycare facility then the projected
peak parking demand would be 5 vehicles (39 projected children/58 children observed x 7
maximum observed vehicles = 5 maximum projected vehicles). In either case, a maximum of 5
or 7 vehicles parked on-site can easily be accommodated since the proposed facility has 11
parking spaces available on-site.
