Background Information:
The Pilot is a parking management strategy recommended by the Parking Advisory Board (PAB) to reduce downtown on-street parking demand and provide a carbon neutral transportation option to Downtown employees, residents and visitors. The PAB presented this project to the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #5 and was approved $500,000 for implementation of the Pilot. Staff will speak to the “roll out” of the Pilot and be available for any questions the Mayor & Council may have.
