Mayor and City Council
Terry Maurer, Public Works Director ~
DATE:
February I I, 2008
SUBJECT:
Downtown Parking Study
At this evening's workshop, I will present the findings from the first downtown paxking
study accomplished the second week of December 2007. I will present the information
graphically on the large screen for ease of discussion. There are many different ways this
information can be presented, so I would appreciate some comments on whether or not the
method I have chosen is understandable and provides the information the City Council
desires. Just as a reminder, the next quarterly parking study is scheduled for the second
week of March 2008.
