Downtown San Leandro Parking Data Analysis December 2, 2013 Page 8 Hour-by-Hour Occupancy Levels The following tables present hour-by-hour occupancy rates for core and periphery on-street parking and the various off-street parking facilities. To provide visual definition, the tables are highlighted to indicate periods of high usage. Cells highlighted in light pink indicate hours when a facility meets or exceeds practical capacity (85 percent) and remains below 95 percent, cells shaded in dark pink indicate times when occupancy was observed to have reached a critical level of 95 percent or higher, and cells shaded in red indicate times when occupancy was observed to reach full capacity. Weekday Occupancy Table 2 shows the weekday hourly occupancy levels for the study area. Overall, on-street occupancies remain under practical capacity throughout the day, with the core around 50 percent occupancy and the periphery peaking at 64 percent occupancy. This preference for periphery spaces could be due to the high amount of unregulated spaces present in the periphery. Among the seven off-street facilities, the Pelton Center Lot and the Washington Plaza Lot (South) experience the highest occupancies throughout the day, suggesting a high demand for parking within the area of these two lots; the northern portion of the Washington Plaza Lot hovers around 50 percent occupancy while all other facilities remain under 50 percent throughout the day. In addition, these two facilities both experience more than a 20 percent increase in occupancy between 11 AM and 12 PM. This increase is likely due to the high amount of midday parking demand as a result of the presence of retail within the vicinity as compared to the rest of the study area. 101310 651
