4 <br />F.l <br />l~vcr <br />Downtown Parking Study <br />PARKING DEMAND <br />It is important to define conditions which will be used as a part of the model to <br />estimate future demand. Because the new developments in the Downtown are <br />still under construction, there were an unusual number of construction workers, <br />and their vehicles, in the study area. To avoid including those vehicles in the <br />parking demand model adjustments to the observed occupancy have been <br />applied. <br />Table 3 presents the adjustments to subtract the construction worker's vehicles <br />from the existing demand. The estimates are based upon observations made <br />during the occupancy survey. The adjustment results in reducing the peak <br />period occupancy by 39 vehicles down to about 330 vehicles. Therefore, the <br />model of existing parking demand, which is used to estimate future demand, will <br />target approximately 330 spaces rather than 370 spaces. <br />Table 3 <br />Adjustment <br />Factor Block 8:00 AM 9:00 AM 10:00 AM 11:00 AM 12:00 PM 1:00 PM 2:00 PM 3:00 PM <br />Total Observed Occupancy 6-20-07 308 367 373 365 356 369 327 309 <br />Construction Worker Adjustments <br />40% 3 Main Street 3 5 4 5 4 5 4 6 <br />60% 7 City Lot 22 22 22 22 22 21 18 8 <br />100% 4 Bank Lot 12 12 13 15 11 10 9 9 <br />100% 4 Jackson PI. 6 6 6 6 4 3 2 2 <br /> <br />Subtotal Adjustment for Construction (43) (45) (45) (48) (41) (39) (33) (24) <br />TOTAL DESIGN DAY OCCUPANCY 265 322 328 317 315 330 294 285 <br />September 2007 <br />Carl Walker, Inc. <br />8 <br />
