Downtown Parking Management Plan – Outreach Summary <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 7 Satisfaction with available parking <br /> <br />Opinions related to on-street parking were slightly different from those focused on overall <br />conditions. Fifty percent of respondents agree that finding on-street parking cannot be done <br />quickly. An equal percentage of respondents believe parking garages or lots in the area have free <br />spaces available (both at thirty percent). One good thing about existing on-street parking, as <br />referenced previously, are the time-restrictions with visitors to the area. Only twenty-seven percent <br />of respondents disagreed with the statement that time limits at the meter allow users enough time <br />for their typical visit (refer to Figure 8). Time limits were the third most important thing <br />respondents took into consideration when selecting a parking spot, number one being availability <br />and number two being parking rate (refer to Figure 9). <br /> <br />Forty-one percent of respondents agree that the implementation of a residential parking permit <br />(RPP) program in Downtown neighborhoods would help manage parking. Slightly more than one- <br />third of respondents (thirty-six percent) disagreed. Figure 10 provides a breakdown of the results <br />of that question. Although the figures provide a somewhat even split between those opposed and <br />those in favor of a potential RPP program, conversations with those opposed, neutral, or no opinion <br />showed limited understanding about the permit program. It is our belief that through education on <br />the issues occurring downtown and community meetings, a community members impacted by <br />commercial/business parking in the downtown would support the program. <br /> <br />In addition to examining attitudes about the existing parking management system, attitudes about <br />bicycle parking facilities were examined including motivations for commuting by alternative <br />modes. Results here showed a split opinion with the state of San Leandro’s limited bike parking <br />facilities. As shown in Figure 11, thirty-nine percent of respondents were either very or somewhat <br /> <br />111344 Page 6 <br />In general, how satisfied are you with the availability of parking in San <br />Leandro? <br />18% <br />32% <br />Very satisfied <br />Somewhat satisfied <br />Neutral <br />Not satisfied <br />36% <br />13% <br />639
