Between the <br />weekday and weekend, there is a five percent difference in user type profiles, with the weekend <br />observing a higher amount of likely customers. <br /> <br />Table 6 –Likely User Types <br /> <br /> <br />User Type Total Vehicles % of All Vehicles <br />Weekday Likely Customer 4,708 81% <br />Likely Employee 1,107 19% <br />All Users 5,815 100% <br />Weekend <br />Likely Customer 4,981 86% <br />Likely Employee 811 14% <br />All Users 5,792 100% <br /> <br /> <br />Turnover <br />Parking turnover is an indicator of how often a single parking space is used by multiple vehicles <br />throughout the day. Turnover rates are essential for areas with limited parking supply, such as <br />downtowns, as they signify the level of convenience and availability for patrons parking in the area <br />throughout the day. Typically, higher turnover numbers show that parking spaces are constantly <br />being made available, while lower turnover counts reflect long-term parking areas and few parking <br />restrictions, making it easier for vehicles to stay longer, but reducing the number of spaces <br />available nearby for arriving vehicles. <br /> <br />The average frequency of parking turnover is graphically shown in Figures 10 and 11 for each <br />blockface and off-street facility for the study area throughout the day for the weekday and the <br />weekend days. <br /> <br />Weekday <br /> <br />On a weekday, downtown San Leandro has a mixture of high and low turnover blockfaces <br />throughout the study area. Residential areas such as the area in the southeast corner of the study <br />area experience lower turnover rates. Among the off-street facilities, the south portion of the <br />Washington Plaza Lot and the Pelton Center Lot exhibit the highest amount of average turnover, as <br />more than four vehicles on average utilize a parking space within these facilities throughout the <br />day. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />101310 <br />664
