<br /> <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />To: Reh-Lin Chen and Kevin Cooke, City of San Leandro <br />From: Terri O’Connor, David Chew, and Ted Huynh, CDM Smith <br />Date: December 2, 2013 <br />Subject: Downtown San Leandro Parking Data Analysis <br /> <br /> <br />This technical memorandum summarizes the analysis findings from the data collection efforts <br />conducted for the downtown area of the City of San Leandro (the City). <br /> <br />Study Area <br />The study area was defined to be located roughly between the San Leandro BART station to the <br />west, San Leandro Creek to the north, Bancroft Avenue to the east, and Elsie Avenue/Williams <br />Street to the south. This study area is shown in Figure 1. <br /> <br />The study area was then split between two data analysis zones, called the core and periphery. The <br />core is located within the heart of downtown San Leandro and contains all of the metered and the <br />majority of the time-regulated parking located in the downtown, while the periphery rings the core, <br />containing most of the unregulated parking spaces. Figure 1 also depicts the locations of regulated <br />and unregulated parking. Regulations include metered, time-enforced, or loading parking spaces. <br />Appendix A exhibits all existing parking restrictions within downtown San Leandro.1 <br /> <br />Data Collection and Methodology <br />Data was collected by the City of San Leandro using vehicle-mounted mobile License Plate <br />Recognition (LPR) devices and garage-mounted LPRs. Data was collected hourly from 9 AM to 6 PM <br />over two days, including one weekday (Tuesday September 10th, 2013) and one weekend day <br />(Saturday September 7th, 2013). <br /> <br />Mobile LPR devices mounted on city parking enforcement vehicles were used to collect data for all <br />on-street parking in the study area, as well as for all off-street facilities, with the exception of the <br />Estudillo Garage, which utilized the garage-mounted LPRs. With the mobile LPR devices, data was <br />collected using a pre-determined route (shown in Appendix B) to ensure that all blockfaces and <br />off-street spaces were passed by at least once during each hour of data collection.2 <br /> <br />The garage-mounted LPR devices at Estudillo Garage collected continuous data for a 24-hour <br />period on the collection dates. LPR cameras were mounted at each garage entrance and exit to <br /> <br /> <br />1 This map was developed by the City of San Leandro. <br />2 It should be noted that during the analysis of data, LPR reading errors were observed resulting in some instances of <br />vehicle over-counting. Efforts were made to remove these redundancies where possible. Over-counting was not able to <br />be field verified; adjustments were subsequently made in post processing using professional judgment. <br /> <br /> <br />101310 <br />644
