Ross Avenue Parking Garage
Parking Design
Project
DeShazo Group was engaged to assess whether the Ross Avenue Parking Garage could support increased traffic volumes following a proposed expansion. With concerns from the First Baptist Church of Dallas about potential congestion—particularly on Sundays—DeShazo conducted a detailed traffic circulation and ramp capacity study to evaluate weekday and weekend usage patterns.
