This project provides for the restoration of, or improvements to, Wheaton parking facilities to address deterioration due to use and age. This is a continuing program of contractual improvements or restorations, with changing priorities depending upon the types of deterioration and corrections required. Corrective measures are required to ensure adequate and proper serviceability over the design life of the facilities and to preserve the County's investment. The scope of this project may vary depending on the results of the studies conducted under Facility Planning: Parking.

Cost increase is due to the addition of FY31 and FY32 to this Level of Effort project, as well as additional funding in FY27 for legacy parking meter replacement.

Staff inspection and condition surveys by County inspectors and consultants indicate that facilities at the Wheaton Parking Lot District (PLD) are in need of rehabilitation and repair work. Not performing this restoration work within the time and scope specified may result in serious structural integrity problems to the subject parking facilities as well as possible public safety hazards.

FY26 supplemental in the amount of $34,650 in State aid from the Maryland Energy Administration for LED lighting installation and upgrades.

Expenditures will continue indefinitely. The County Executive asserts that this project conforms to the requirement of relevant local plans, as required by the Maryland Economic Growth, Resource Protection and Planning Act.
