PARKING TASK FORCE PROPOSED CHANGES
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Approve the parking changes
recommended by the Parking Task Force.
Overview
The Parking Task Force was formed as a result of a meeting held last March with
downtown business owners to discuss parking issues. Over fifty people attended this
meeting and approximately twenty-five volunteered to form a Parking Task Force. This
group was charged with making a recommendation for funding, capacity and
maintenance/enforcement of a new parking system.
The result of a Business Census Survey, a Parking Needs Survey, and an open house
questionnaire showed that there are many diverse parking needs. The Task Force met
with HBCA members at the last HBCA general meeting and received positive input. The
Task Force summary and recommendations are attached to this report.
The Parking Task Force is requesting the Council's approval of the proposed changes to
the parking system.

Primary Issues To Consider
What is the proposed management/enforcement recommendation?
PROPOSED CUSTOMER PARKING CHANGES
Eliminate 10 p.m. restrictions in Lots SOOA, SOOB, and 600.
Ramp VIP Pass on a trial period basis - free daily ramp pass for
seminar/convention purposes. Currently convention/seminar attendees must
purchase a $2.00 single day permit to park all day in the ramp.
PROPOSEDE~LOYEEPARKINGCHANGES
One colored permit instead of the current colored-coded permit system. Currently
There are three types of permits with different colors to represent parking areas.
More education for employees regarding parking areas (parking maps,
informational brochures, etc.)
Free single day/night permit for construction workers working late at night.
Free single day/night permit for loading and unloading purposes.
. What is the proposed funding recommendation?
The Task Force chose not to make a funding recommendation. They felt that City
staff should discuss this issue with the commercial property owners, as they will
be responsible for possible increased assessments to pay for the new parking
system. Staff is planning to meet with commercial property owners in the near
future.
What is the proposed capacity recommendation?
The proposed capacity recommendations are attached to this report.
. What were the Zoning & Planning Commission's comments regarding the
proposed changes to the parking system?
The Z & P has reviewed and approved of the proposed parking changes. They had
no changes in the recommendations.
PARKING TASK FORCE SUMMARY
The Parking Task Force was set up as result of a meeting held last March with downtown
business owners to discuss parking issues. Over fifty people attended this meeting and
approximately twenty-five of these people volunteered to form a Parking Task Force.
This group was charged with coming up with recommendations for funding a new
parking system, capacity issues, and maintenance/enforcement. Volunteers from the West
Suburban Mediation Center facilitated a number of the meetings.
A Business Census Survey followed by a Parking Needs Survey were hand delivered to
the businesses located in the central business district. The information requested from
these surveys included type of business, numbers of workers on-site during daytime and
evening hours, whether they felt the current parking times adequate to fit their customers'
needs, and other comments. This information gave the group a broader input of what the
parking needs were and whether the current parking system was conducive to these
different needs.
Theater customers were using Lot 500A, which created a parking problem for businesses
in this area that have short term parking needs. The Task Force proposed that 30 parking
stalls in Lot 500A be changed from three hours to ninety-minutes in an attempt to free up
Lot 500A for short term customers. Mike Tait rejected this proposal and counter
proposed that 50 stalls be changed instead of30. The Task Force approved of this
proposal and 50 parking stalls were changed to 90 minute parking limits; however, not
everyone was pleased with the decision made by Task Force members in attendance that
day. The meetings continued with discussions regarding funding, capacity and
enforcement issues.
The Task Force chose not to make a funding recommendation. They felt that they were
not the right group to make this recommendation and will leave the recommendation to
City staff to make to the Council.
It was decided that capacity was a problem. The Task Force supported the purchase of
vacant property located at 35 and 37 Ninth Avenue North for the purpose of creating
another public parking lot. Another option included an expansion of the St. Joseph's
parking lot for public use.
To review proposed changes, see the attached copies of the proposed customer parking
changes, management changes, and capacity changes.
An open house was held for the purpose of gaining a broader input on the above
mentioned parking items. Attendance at the event was low and, as a result, the Task
Force asked for more input from members of the HBCA at their last general meeting.
