<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Downtown Parking Management Plan <br />Stakeholder Outreach Summary <br />During the month of July, the Placeworks team worked with the City of San Leandro to develop and <br />execute a survey instrument to gather input from locals regarding existing parking management <br />strategies. Survey methodology consisted of in-person intercept surveys recorded on tablets on <br />SurveyMonkey survey software. This mechanism, along with summaries provided by individual <br />surveyors on common themes and comments expressed while in the field, were used as the main <br />platform to gather opinions, ideas, and concerns over existing San Leandro parking issues. The <br />most pertinent elements of the intercept survey are described within this memo and the full results <br />of the questionnaire are also available for review. Three hundred forty five (345) people <br />participated in the survey. <br /> <br />Intercept surveys were conducted near major entertainment, recreation and dining venues on <br />Wednesday July 15th at the Farmers Market and Thursday July 16th and Saturday July 18th, 2015 in <br />at Washington Plaza and Juana/E. 14th Street. The intercept survey results provide insight into the <br />most common modes people utilize to reach downtown, local concerns about parking in San <br />Leandro, and opinions on potential parking solutions. The purpose of the surveys were to gather <br />information from visitors to the area, regardless of whether they worked or lived in San Leandro, <br />and to explore how they commute to the area and what sorts of amenities or concerns motivate <br />them. <br />Stakeholder Issues <br />The most consistent issues and themes from business owners, employees, residents and visitors in <br />San Leandro are summarized as follows: <br /> Majority of shoppers and restaurant goers are able to adequately finish their business within <br />the exiting time restrictions <br /> <br /> Strong desire for increased time limit restrictions, both by visitors and business owners <br /> <br /> Strong concern over two-hour limit parking restrictions from employees <br /> <br /> Strong concern over peak noon-time parking and reparking due to lack of availability of on- <br />street spaces <br /> <br /> Inadequate wayfinding and poor disbursement of existing parking information has made the <br />nearby parking structure underutilized <br /> <br /> Concern over BART commuters parking in lots and on residential streets <br /> <br />In addition, a variety of other issues worthy of exploration arose during survey process, including: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />111344 <br />634
