Downtown Parking Strategy and Implementation Plan—Public Comments ATTACHMENT 3 <br /> The Hexagon Parking Survey Results for Downtown Pleasanton <br /> Big crunch coming—possible solutions. <br /> Report of the Parking Committee of Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA) <br /> March 25, 2015 <br /> Executive Summary <br /> • The core downtown area is nearing parking saturation. Upon completion of the <br /> Pastime Plaza project,there will typically be no vacant public parking spots within <br /> two blocks of the Main/Rose-Neal intersection. <br /> • The Pastime Plaza project, with the new Starbucks at the corner of Main and <br /> Rose streets, will generate parking demand for 23 new parking spaces, or more. <br /> • According to the Hexagon Parking Survey, at 12:30 p.m. on week days pre- <br /> Pastime Plaza, there are only 2.6 vacant public parking spaces within one block <br /> of the Main/Rose-Neal intersection. There are only 27.1 vacant public parking <br /> spaces within two blocks of the Main/Rose-Neal intersection. That includes 9.8 <br /> dirt parking spaces on the distant railroad corridor between Neal and Angela. <br /> • With saturation, private parking owners will restrict use of their parking, <br /> exacerbating the parking scarcity, and driving customers away from downtown. <br /> People will call for moratoriums to prohibit any use which might increase <br /> downtown vitality by bringing more people downtown. <br /> • The City needs to proactively create public parking spaces now before parking <br /> saturation is reached. There are cost effective solutions available which could <br /> increase public parking at locations where parking is needed now. <br /> 1 <br /> Provided to Planning Commission for March 8,2017 Meeting and City Council for April 18,2017 Meeting 13 <br />
