^ Consider adding pedestrian access from the King Avenue parking structure <br />(walkways through or between buildings) to Main Street businesses. <br />Signage <br />^ Install permanent signage near the King Avenue public parking lot that is up high <br />and demonstrates where public parking exists to traffic traveling along Highway <br />10 in both directions. The signage should be easy-to-read and, if possible, <br />demonstrative of Elk River's past. <br />Signage examples from other communities were provided to the Task Force as part of <br />the final meeting in May 2005. The following picture depicts public parking signage <br />from downtown Stillwater, Minnesota which Task Force members especially liked. <br />The image is viewed as representative of the type of signage that members are <br />proposing to the HRA and City Council for permanent placement at the King Avenue <br />parking lot site, facing Highway 10 in both directions. <br />Conclusion <br />The King Avenue Parking Lot Task Force is providing these recommendations to the <br />Elk River Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and City Council as its <br />response to the work performed by the Task Force at the request of the City. Parking <br />in the downtown Elk River area is extremely important and vital to the economic <br />vitality of the City and its residents and businesses. It is important to maintain a <br />suitable level of short-term, long-term, employee and disabled parking for our <br />citizens and visitors at all times. <br />9 <br />
