Background and Analysis:
City staff is working to update the City’s parking strategy in conjunction with the Downtown Strategy update in 2016. The timeline for the Downtown Strategy anticipates the Strategy being complete in the fall of 2016. A consultant is needed to perform a study of the existing parking system and make recommendations towards the City’s goals, including maximizing existing on-street parking, more efficiently managing the downtown residential parking program, effectively implementing the Downtown Strategy among other things.
Staff will give an oral report on the draft parking strategy and next steps in the process.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
Potential changes in the parking system would generate community interest. If changes are recommended as part of the parking strategy, staff will implement a communication and public participation plan.
Options:
N/A
Financial Impact:
Estimated cost of a parking study is $100,000 to $150,000 which would be funded by parking revenues. There are sufficient funds for this project.
