Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - July 19, 1993 Page - 6 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) Council Member Corbett said she had heard concerns from employees in the area who said there is a lack of parking and they have to walk greater distances to their places of employment. She asked if any questions had been asked about how this parking restriction would impact employees and their safety. She said people are especially concerned about having to walk further to their cars. She asked if anyone looked at the other side of the issue. She also asked if the medical facility provided off-street parking for their employees. Deane Howland, Traffic Engineer, said this issue. was not considered. He said it was felt there was enough parking because this particular location was far enough from the downtown area, and it would not affect downtown parking. Council Member Corbett asked where employees are supposed to park. Mr. Howland said he wasn't involved in this matter and Dan Sullivan had handled it. Council Member Corbett said she wanted more answers and wanted to look at both sides of this issue. Council Member Perry said the Downtown Parking Committee looked at specific areas, unrestricted parking, etc. She said perhaps the map that was developed should be reviewed by the Chamber of Commerce to see if the issues have changed.
