34. Discussion Questions by Geography
Do the proposed recommendations in this neighborhood serve and
provide a balance of benefits to different users (i.e., residents,
employees, visitors, etc.)?
Are there any parking issues that the draft recommendations do not
address?
Are there refinements you would make to the where/how parking
designations are applied in this area?
35. Discussion Questions by Topic
Metered Parking
Do you think the proposed duration and pricing of the three different
types of metered parking (short, mid, and long term) align with the goals?
Permits
Do the permit pricing and limits for residents and businesses in the
proposed permit areas align with the program’s goals?
How many permits would your household likely buy?
How do you see business permits working? Should the City limit the
number available? Should certain types of businesses or employees get
priority?
How long should a visitor/nanny/home health worker/ construction
worker be allowed to park without a permit? Should some users get
unique permits for their class?
36. Discussion Questions by Topic
Parking Management to encourage alternatives to driving
If the parking program creates excess revenue after program costs, how
would you like to see those funds used?
Garages on key transit corridors?
Transit subsidies or transit programs?
Fund additional meters and parking management in future phases?
Reduce metered parking?
