The DPIP was developed based on the commission's understanding of the parking situation form daily use and a study of parking demand and supply conducted during Summer 1996. Parking improvement alternatives and possible funding sources were identified and presented at a public parking symposium December 4, 1996. The symposium provided an opportunity for participants to discuss the information presented and to indicate their preferences regarding the various parking improvement alternatives. Participants were also asked their preference or acceptance of various methods of funding the parking improvements. Based on the comments and results from a parking questionnaire, the committee proposes the following downtown parking improvement program. The DPIP is set out in three time periods; short term improvement (1-2 years), midterm (3-5 years) and long term (5+ years) based on type and cost of project. In developing the program the committee looked closely at the costs of improvements as compared to parking benefit. The overall approach of the program is to make low cost, short term improvements to existing parking to make it function as efficient and effectively as possible. After the existing system has been "tuned up", the more expensive task of adding spaces to the parking supply is proposed. The Aiple property (midterm improvements, $250,000) could add 100 - 150 spaces while a parking structure, scheduled as a long term project, costing $3.5 to 5.0 million could add 350 to 500 spaces. The new funding source proposed for immediate parking improvements is pay parking for Lot 1, South Main and Lot 2, River Lot. It is estimated that $50,000 to $60,000 will be generated annually. The specifics of the program will be developed later after approval of the pay parking approach. The overall downtown parking improvement program is presented in the following chart. After presentation and discussion of the DPIP at the January 8, 1997 meeting, it will be presented to the City Council for approval. Implementation could begin as soon as the 1997 parking season. di -rnn� �1. i S 224 2W January 2, 1997 SUBJECT: STILLWATER DOWNTOWN PARKING TO: STILLWATER CITY COUNCIL, STEVE RUSSELL, NILE KRIESEL As I was reading the December 31 edition of the Stillwater Gazette article concerning downtown parking plans, the following occurred to me that I wanted to convey to you. The article addresses plans to improve parking and use signs to help show people where parking can be found. I assume that, consistent with the Stillwater Comprehensive Plan (which indicates there are traffic issues in the residential neighborhoods), there will not be plans (through signs or other means) to route traffic through the residential neighborh_oodA in order to get from highway 36 to the parking lots on the southwest hills of downtown. I know it's easy to get focused on addressing one problem and potentially cause an impact on another problem, I thought I would share this, in case anyone had not thought of this.
