Downtown San Leandro Parking Data Analysis <br />December 2, 2013 <br />Page 17 <br /> <br /> <br />Duration Analysis <br />The parking duration analysis is presented in terms of observed distribution of “parking events” by <br />length of stay. A parking event is defined as when a vehicle is observed to occupy a single space <br />during one observed time period during data collection. <br /> <br />Weekday <br /> <br />Table 4 presents the length of stay by space type for the study area between 9 AM and 6 PM for the <br />weekday. The average user parking on-street in the periphery stays for slightly less than an hour <br />longer than a user parking in the core area. This can be due to the higher amount of unregulated <br />parking in the periphery area. Only 50 percent of on-street parkers stay for an hour or less, likely <br />indicating that some on-street parkers are nearby residents or commuters who park in free parking <br />areas. <br /> <br />Off-street, the Estudillo Parking Garage observes the highest average duration at just over 4 hours. <br />In addition, 30 percent of its users stay for 8 hours or more. This suggests a high amount of <br />employees utilizing the Estudillo Parking Garage. Among the remaining off-street facilities, the Best <br />Building Parking Lot and Albertsons Temp Parking Lot exhibit similar durations of approximately <br />2.30 hours, while all other facilities experience average durations between 1.35 and 1.65 hours. <br />Around three quarters of parkers use off-street parking for an hour or less, indicating that many <br />visitors park in the off-street lots for short visits to nearby retail and restaurants. <br /> <br />Table 4 – Weekday Durations by Parking Type <br /> <br /> <br />Space Type/Facility Total <br />Spaces <br />Parking Duration (Hours) Average <br />Stay <br />(Hours) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 <br />On-Street <br />Core 608 60% 12% 7% 5% 4% 2% 2% 4% 5% 2.44 <br />Periphery 1,165 46% 13% 6% 6% 4% 5% 4% 6% 9% 3.30 <br />Total 1,773 50% 13% 6% 5% 4% 4% 4% 6% 8% 3.00 <br />Off-Street <br />Washington Plaza Lot (North) 128 87% 5% 3% 2% 1% 1% 0% 0% 0% 1.35 <br />Washington Plaza Lot (South) 356 86% 6% 2% 1% 1% 1% 1% 1% 0% 1.37 <br />Pelton Center Lot 75 79% 9% 4% 1% 2% 2% 2% 1% 0% 1.56 <br />CVS Parking Lot 111 82% 4% 2% 1% 2% 4% 1% 3% 2% 1.79 <br />Main Library Parking Lot 153 67% 21% 6% 2% 2% 1% 1% 0% 1% 1.65 <br />Best Building Parking Lot 57 69% 7% 2% 6% 2% 7% 1% 3% 3% 2.27 <br />Albertson Temp Parking Lot 202 57% 17% 7% 2% 5% 5% 5% 2% 1% 2.28 <br />Estudillo Parking Garage 384 46% 6% 5% 3% 3% 2% 5% 11% 19% 4.05 <br />Total 1,466 78% 8% 3% 2% 1% 2% 1% 2% 2% 1.76 <br />Overall <br />Total 3,239 65% 10% 5% 4% 3% 3% 3% 4% 5% 2.36 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 101310 <br />660
