20. Policy guidance already out there Ian Adopted Transportation Element and Proposed Downtown Area Plan Policies for Downtown: Draft Downtown Area Plan:

21. Our parking policies… Ian 3 things Address issues and concerns we id in data collection Needs to address or establish framework for projected needs for parking in hustle bustle downtown Needs to be acceptable to multiple constituencies Play off of policies already enumerated by the downtown plan 3 levers Time management of parking Geographic price management of parking Carrots to encourage alternative modes

22. Parking management objectives to guide new policy Sebastian Maintain street parking for short term visitors—time limit, price to discourage meter feeding Encourage parking in underutilized areas—pricing, geography Increase management of nighttime supply—pricing w/o time limits Raise revenues that could be spent on encouraging alternative modes—pricing, geography Encourage garage use for longterm visitors—pricing Price on street parking geographically & with adjusted time limits

23. Implementation Plan w/map of lollipop Brit

24. Cost of Implementation and Operation Brit

25. Final Revenue Calculations Brit

26. This yields money to spend in downtown Ian

27. Implementation Scenarios Jed-reformat

28. Survey & Berk policy says we should spend it on… Tim/JPQ/Greg • Blah • Blah • Mo Blah

29. Proposed Expenditure Plan Tim * 12,500 passes can be issued annually if transit store is not reopened

31. Summary of Recommendations Sebastian Parking management strategy • City-wide Pay & Display system • Zonal pricing • Community outreach Expenditure plan • Transit • Sidewalk repair and maintenance • Streetscape improvements

32. Meeting Future Demand for Parking Laura If Downtown Berkeley continues to grow but does not add parking spaces, the City should. . . • Fund alternative transportation modes • Closely monitor spillover into nearby neighborhoods and increase enforcement To keep on-street parking responsive to future needs, the City should. . . • Peg average on-street rates to garages or index to inflation OR Price on-street spaces dynamically during the day • Mandate periodic occupancy studies and re-evaluate the “lollipop zone” if necessary
