The first municipal fully-automated parking garage on the West Coast is now open to the West Hollywood, California, community. After years of suffering with less than one-third the required and necessary vehicle parking adjacent to the existing city hall, a state-of-the-art, sustainable parking solution provides 200 parking spaces for use by the city staff, residents and local businesses.
Since the vehicles are non-operational during the parking and retrieval process, the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions equates to removing 92 cars from the road each year or the planting of 67,000 trees.
The shell surrounding the warehouse features environmentally-friendly materials, like composite wood panels made primarily from recycled plastic grocery bags.
