Downtown Strategic Parking Management Plan
Strategies 1 through 5 have been completed. Strategies 6 (Cash-in-Lieu), 7 (UDC Parking Requirements), and 8 (SID 565) are scheduled to be addressed in 2018. I am working with City staff to develop a timeline.
Strategy 10, focusing on data collection and analysis, was in part completed with the release of
the 2017 Downtown Parking Study conducted by WTI.
Strategies 12, 13, and 14, which focus on signage, branding and wayfinding associated with parking will be completed in 2018. Strategy 15 (upgrade the parking technology systems at the garage and used for on-street
management) the new T2 parking management system is completely “live” in use.
Special Presentation

events. He said the consultant team will be presenting the draft framework and concepts on
October 29, 30, and 31st. In addition to at least three public events, there will be a series of
stakeholder work sessions including: downtown boards, various citizen advisory boards, and city
staff. Bob Hietala suggested a specific stakeholder meeting for downtown property and business owners. Chris agreed to add that meeting to the schedule.
