[OMS_MANAGERS] Time limit for Downtown Parking

[Suzi Bicknell]

Downtown Salem has had 2 hour limit for quite some time. Our parking studies
for the last four years indicate it is working efficiently. We also have two
free parking garages which are underutilized. We have some longer term 10
hour spots closer to the Courthouse and metered in a limited area. Our
average stay has been consistent in the last four years with just around 1
hour and 45 minutes. Businesses do not encourage their customers to use the
parking structures especially for the hair salons, the personal services
businesses seem to need extended stay.

Erik, 

 

La Grande currently has two hours parking limits throughout the downtown
area.  About a year ago, we explored changing to three hours.  While this
seems to be the more desirable time allotment for a lot of the community, in
the end, the  cost of replacing all of the signs was just too much for our
town to support.

The City of Klamath Falls is considering increasing the time limit of
parking in its public parking lots from 2 hours to 3 hours.   Currently both
the parking lots and streets have a 2 hour limit.  Does anyone have a 3 hour
limit for parking in their Downtown?  Does anyone have 2 different time
limits for parking lot and street?  What other time limits do other Downtown
have?

 

Thanks for your help.
