Picture Main St Parking Policy Forum
Monday, June 13, 2022
During both the Rapid Recovery and the Picture Main Street planning, we committed to updating our past community conversations on Main Street parking management. We know that one of the most important things to support local businesses and reduce Main Street traffic congestion is to have a greater percentage of vacant parking spaces. The number of raw parking spaces is not as important as parking space vacancies that are available to those whose parking demand is inelastic (e.g., those who will park on Main Street or not stop downtown if they can't find a parking space).
Using a small grant that we have, we are engaging Stantec to assist with the first step of this process. The principal at Stantec, Jason Schrieber, was the consultant in the original detailed design charrette (2013) that initiated both the Picture Main Street project and the current King Street safety and pedestrian improvement project (North to the Bike Path) project. Jason's charge is to provide parking management recommendations and explore those during a public forum.
Please join us. This is only the first step in the process as we move forward and prepare for Picture Main Street.
