Ms. Matthews explained that two options for the on-street parking plan were presented to downtown business for an indication of their preference as well as other suggestions. The clear pr ference was for a plan which would allow one-hour parking within an inner core area and two -hour parking within an outer core area. New signage for the plan is expected to be in place by the end of January. The major problem is misuse of parking spaces by downtown employees. Stricter enforcement of parking regulations is expected to curb that problem. Ms. Schwartz noted that stricter enforcement will chase away customers as well as free up parking for them. This will be a necessary trade -off. Ms. Derbeck questioned if the survey addressed where employees should park.
