This is an informational report regarding the downtown parking
information flyer the Police Department began dist.r ibuting in the
downtowr. area last month (see attachment}. No Council ~ction is
required.
Background.
Frequently. visitors to the downtown area are not familiar with the
different parking facilities available for their U$e~ In an effort
to educate the. public about the parKing situation, the Police
Department has designed a courtesy notice th~t is being placed on
each vehicle that receives a citation. The idea for this notice
originated with one of the downtown merchants who had seen a simi
lar notice in another citya The notice suggests the best times to
find s\litable parking in the downtown area and it recommends alter
native modes of tr-ansportation. On the re .... erse side of the notice
is a map of the downtown business district showing where public
parking lots are located. Members of the public will be able to
use the map to locate convenient par~inq spaces suited to their
"eeds~
Conelusi2)l
The flyer will aid the public in locating parking facilities in the
downtown area and encourage the use of public transportation and
car-pooling.
