Through wayfinding and improved signage Consider designating the top level of the Main Promenade Parking Garage for employee parking after 3:00 or 4:00 PM on Friday and Saturday. Not recommended due to ample parking availability Downtown Task Force Recommendations: Responses (cont. ) That meters be enforced until 2:00 AM in residential neighborhoods ., , in the downtown , and to add signage to existing meters to promote flat-rate Fri/Sat night parking in the Main Promenade Parking Garage. Extension of meter enforcement in the commercial area after midnight is not recommended: Meter enforcement tends to "turn" spaces, resulting in more vehicles parked at these spaces. If the goal is to reduce the number of cars parking on the street, enforcing meters is not typically used; Meter enforcement after midnight is an expensive use of resources that could likely be applied more cost effectively in different locations and/or at differ times; Meter enforcement is not typically used to limit parking, but rather increase parking space availability for the public. � • 1 Discussion Questions?
