7. PROGRESSIREPORTS
Mr. Hunt noted that we have been working with
Center City Asociates, MACOG, the Police, the
Board of Public Works and other city agencies
to develop an on- street parking plan for the
downtown Approximately 500 questionnaires
were sen to downtown businesses and a 22%
response was received.
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. Ms. Matthews noted
that that question is being addressed by an
