The City of Hoboken today launched an online public survey to gather community feedback on the automated municipal parking garage at 916 Garden St, which has reached the end of its useful life due in part to aging technology and internal infrastructure that is largely obsolete.
The garage, which initially opened in 2002 as a prototype to store over 300 vehicles, would require a significant retrofit to continue operating as an automated parking garage as it currently only serves 105 residents due in part to limitations with the system’s antiquated mechanical equipment.
The City has hired an expert to develop a feasibility study to evaluate alternatives for the site. Alternatives could include retrofitting the software that operates the facility and all mechanical equipment in the garage, selling the property, a change in use of the property to something other than parking, or some combination of these options.
Survey responses will be used to inform the City’s decision-making process regarding the property's future.

The City’s Department of Transportation and Parking will also provide current garage users with a separate online survey regarding their user experience via email.
