FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director
DATE: April 7, 2008
SUBJECT: March Downtown Parking Study Results
As directed by the City Council, I am presenting in an informational f ormat the results of the
March quarterly downtown parking study. The study was conducted on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, March 11 - 13. 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 f rom the first quarterly study conducted in
December 2007.
• Figures 5-7 Summary of the long-term parking (defined as the same car in a stall
for athree-hour period) for the three days of the study. Again, the
results from the March study is very similar to the December 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 December 2007 results.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the study results, please contact me.
