INFORMATION ONLY MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director DATE: August 4, 2008 SUBJECT: June 2008 Downtown Parking Study Results As directed by the City Council, I am presenting in an informational format the results of the June quarterly downtown parking study. The study was conducted on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, June 17 - 19. The following lists the attached figures and a brief description of the information contained on them: • Figure 1 A general layout of the 257 parking stalls surveyed on an hourly basis (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) for the three days of the study. • Figures 2-4 Summaries of the parking occupancy rate broken down by 25% increments. The results shown on these three figures are very similar to the results from the first two quarterly studies conducted in December 2007 and April 2008. • Figures 5-7 Summary of the long-term parking (defined as the same car in a stall for athree-hour period) fox the three days of the study. Again, the results from the June study are very similar to the December 2007 and Apri12008 results. • Figures 8&9 Graphic representation of the average occupancy rate and average long-term parking rate for the three days of the study. Again very similar to the previous results. Unless the Council feels differently, staff would recommend these quarterly studies be suspended until there is a significant change in the downtown area. If you have any questions or comments regarding the study results, please contact me. C:\Documents and Settings\jmiller\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK3E\08 04 08 June Parking Study.doc
