MEMORANDUM
TO: Mark Rohloff, City Manager
FROM: Christopher Strong, P.E., Director of Transportation
DATE: September 19, 2013
RE: EXPLANATION OF CHANGES IN SHORT-TERM PARKING IN
ALGOMA AND GRAND PARKING LOTS
Section 1: Section 27A-11 Parking Regulations on Designated Streets and Alleys
REQUEST TO CONVERT ALL FREE PARKING IN THE ALGOMA AND GRAND
LOTS FROM 90 MINUTE PARKING TO 2-HOUR PARKING
This is a commission request.
At recent meetings, commissioners have indicated support for converting free short-term spaces
in off-street lots from 90 minutes to 2 hours. This request lines up with that trend, and would
make the Algoma and Grand lots consistent with many other higher utilization parking lots
downtown.
Table 1 lists the utilization of short-term parking spaces in downtown lots. By the commonly
accepted definition of parking capacity as 85 percent utilization, neither of these lots is at or near
capacity for its short-term spaces.
Table 1: Utilization of Short-Term Parking Spaces, Spring 2012
90-Minute 2-Hour
Lot Usage Lot Usage
Algoma 24% Division Street 48%
Grand 33% Jefferson 41%
Library 62% Washington 67%
Otter East 10% 400 Block West 36%
Pearl 6% Otter 65%
State 7%
