Mr. Gerry Beaudin FEHRtPEERS November 9, 2015 Page 5 of 6 This model can be used to identify future parking demand, and in combination with the selected strategies identified in Task 4, the change in parking demand with the implementation of various parking strategies will be calculated. Fehr & Peers will discuss with City staff the desired level of parking occupancy for different types of parking supplies, such as 85 percent or 90 percent occupancy on Main Street, a potentially a different target for off-Main Street parking supplies. We will then estimate existing and future parking demand without and with implementation of parking strategies (from Task 4), and the supply range needed to accommodate the projected demand. Task 7—Supply Assessment The parking supply assessment includes several components, including the following: o Identifying inefficiencies within the existing supply, and proposing modifications to increase efficiency, including vehicle access and circulation changes, as well as considering non- motorized connections between parking areas and destinations. For up to three existing off- street parking areas, we will develop a conceptual design to illustrate potential modifications to achieve various parking strategy goals. • Modifications to on-street parking, including converting loading zones to parking areas, or restriping to increase the on-street parking supply; Based on the results of Task 2, Fehr & Peers will identify the number of loading zones that could potentially be used as parking during certain time periods, and provide conceptual design guidance for two roadway segments to increase the on-street supply • Providing surface or structure parking; for up to three sites to be identified in consultation with City staff, we will develop a parking concept plan to identify the potential parking supply of a surface parking lot and a parking structure. For the parking structure options, we will consider required set-backs and height-limits, as provided by City staff, to determine a potential parking garage footprint. Order of magnitude cost estimates will be prepared. As an optional task, Fehr & Peers will partner with Watry Design, Inc. a parking design firm, who can prepare more detailed parking garage plans and refined cost estimates, if needed. The five-minute walk-shed maps (Task 3) will help identify areas of the downtown that may be currently underserved by parking, and where new parking facilities may be prioritized. Task 8—Implementation Fehr & Peers will document the results of Tasks 1 through 7 in a draft Downtown Parking Strategy and Implementation Plan, including separate recommendations for immediate, near-term and long-
