Parking Management Plan Area

Parking Management Plan History

2007-2008: North Hollis Parking Management Plan by CDM Smith

2009-2010: Study area expanded

2010: Final Plan completed, but implementation delayed due to recession

2016: Economic recovery continues; parking pressures increase

2017: City wins grant to implement parking management

1. On-street meters with variable pricing Short-term parking in high-turn-

over areas Long-term meters or long-term

employee permits in employee and extended-stay visitor areas

2. Expanded residential permit parking area No meters or parking restrictions in

industrial areas Bus corridor parking restrictions

along Hollis Street during commute hours

Recommendations from 2010

Add Marina/Powell St. west of I-80 Update parking meter technology Assess current prices for parking Evaluate enforcement resources

and costs for residential parking permits

What’s Changed Since 2010?

Consider parking management in Berkeley and Oakland

Account for transportation network companies (TNCs) like Lyft and Uber

Deliveries, construction

Planning Commission and City Council. Spring 2018 Issue Request for Proposals (RFPs) and

select vendors for parking technologies and adopt Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Policy.

Summer 2018 Install and test new parking management technologies. Roll out permits in areas concerned with spillover from priced areas.

Potential Solutions

Parking meters

Residential parking permits

Parking Meters

Smart Meter • One at each space • Pay with credit card

or coins • Aesthetic/ space

concerns on sidewalk

• Most familiar & easy to use

Multi-Space Kiosks • One or two per block

– pay at kiosk and return to car to display or pay-by-plate

• Pay with credit card, cash, or coins

• Less sidewalk space • Slightly less familiar

and easy to use • License Plate Reader

(LPR) enforcement

Pay by Phone • Pay online • Add money/ time

without returning to car • Requires credit card • Can be combined with

Smart Meters or Multi-Space Kiosks

• Requires downloading and learning new App

• License Plate Reader (LPR) enforcement

Pricing Comparable to pricing in nearby cities –

Berkeley and Oakland – and reasonable for expected users

Option to implement Variable Pricing: Prices based on observed parking demand

Can vary by location or time of day

Help direct short-term parkers to the most

convenient spaces and long-term or more

flexible parkers to spaces with more availability

License Plate Reader (LPR) enforcement

Parking Meters

Parking Meters

Questions to consider: What’s the right technology?

Could variable pricing work?

Where should short-term parking be

encouraged?

Where should long-term parking be

encouraged?

Existing Residential Parking Permit program is limited and cumbersome

This effort could revamp and expand

Would address spillover parking in areas where meters are added

License Plate Reader (LPR) enforcement

Residential Parking Permits (RPP)

Questions to consider: Roll out citywide?

How to respond to different types of areas?

Tiered pricing for multiple cars?

How/should visitors and construction

vehicles be integrated?

Residential Parking Permits (RPP)

Residential permits don’t have to require physical stickers – just pay online and enter license plate

On street paid parking can be enforced through license plate readers and database

Apps such as Spotfinder can help find, reserve, and pay for parking

Goal: not enforcement, but turnover and availability

Technology and Enforcement

Small Group Discussions – 1 hour Parking meters Variable cost for parking based on time? Appropriate technology? Long-term? Short-term?

Residential parking permits Roll out Citywide? How to respond to different areas? Tiered pricing for multiple cars? How/should visitors and construction

vehicles be integrated?
