CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> Date: April 10, 2011 <br /> To: City Council Business & Housing Development Committee <br /> From: Luke Sims, Community Development Director <br /> By: Cynthia Battenberg, Business Development Manager <br /> Tim Ricard, Development Specialist <br /> Subject: Downtown Parking Community Meetings <br /> In conjunction with the construction of the new downtown parking garage, the City will be <br /> taking a closer look at how parking functions throughout the downtown. This examination <br /> includes refining the ideas outlined in the Transit Oriented Development Strategy, determining <br /> the appropriate type of parking technology for the parking garage and a billing system for <br /> parking permits, evaluating how this technology impacts parking enforcement, and evaluating <br /> parking meter usage and turn-over in the downtown. An important step in this process is to <br /> obtain input from the community on how to maximize the City's parking resources. <br /> Beginning in May, the City's engineering, police and business development staff will hold three <br /> community meetings to better understand the unique parking needs of employees, business <br /> owners, residents, and retail customers in the downtown. These meetings will inform future <br /> parking strategies for the downtown such as pricing and time limits, the preferred meter and <br /> garage parking management technologies, and employee parking locations. A comprehensive <br /> strategy may be developed in the future should resources be identified. <br /> G: \OBD \Files RDA\Joint Project Area \Estudillo Garage - 2008 Bond \Parking Meetings B &HD 4- 10- 11.docx <br />
