\\ <br />Elk~~~. . <br />Ftivcr <br />Downtown Parking Study <br />PARKING UTILIZATION <br />A parking utilization survey for the study area was performed on Wednesday, <br />June 20, 2007. Carl Walker personnel performed the field work and observed <br />overall activity on the survey day. Occupancy counts were conducted hourly <br />starting at Sam through 3pm. In addition, turnover and duration data for the City <br />controlled spaces within the study area was collected. License plate digits were <br />used to track the usage of the City on-street and off-street spaces at each hourly <br />interval. The utilization data was collected before the regulations and <br />employee permit procedures were changed. The changes were enacted on <br />July 1. <br />Occupancy <br />Table 2 presents a summary of the occupancy survey results. Detailed <br />tabulations are included in Appendix 2 and 3. Overall, occupancy was steady <br />at about 50% occupied from about gam through 1 pm. The peak recorded <br />occupancy was 373 vehicles at about 10 am. <br />Three of the on-street block faces, Blocks 2 8~ 3 Main Street and Block 5 Jackson <br />Avenue, had peak occupancies at 100% or greater. It appears that lunch time <br />dining generates the spike in parking demand being accommodated by the on- <br />street spaces. <br /> <br />September 2007 Carl Walker, Inc. <br />5 <br />
