Parking presentation	‘More parking needed’
	Did you expect any other reply?

I have previously argued that the study showed only a few areas where parking was a ‘problem’

But study does offer good suggestion (Pay Parking at Atlin etc)

And the signage issue was addressed – see below for both

	Two through four are useful

Pay Parking at Atlin both Cow Bay lots

See lots 1 & 2 on my previous illustration

What will the $$ be used for? I would suggest put into Bylaw enforcement officers to ‘police’ parking – especially during summer

There is presently an adequate supply of parking – that is what the study really shows

Note the assumptions—City to provide Cow Bay with parking etc --- and that the more parking available the better

I thought PR was trying to go Green?

The assumptions driving >parking supply is that Royop ‘soon’ going to build a shopping Mall – thus if downtown to be protected must increase parking availability

I am told Royop has not even purchased the property yet -- -- and I would not look for them here until population hits 16T
Thus we need to ‘plan’ for that eventuality – but not implement at present

	Here is a green-er message
	TDM should be PR present policy approach – based upon THEIR study (I would suggest)

SIGNAGE

Note sign on left – 1^st avenue and other high use side streets already have 15 or 30 minutes

(Task Force recommended making all ‘core’ side streets one hour parking—as in image below)

Granted the sign is parallel to street and hard to see

	City added Signage to the original study objectives – note previous Council (2005) was also concerned with Parking – just before last election
	Signage for Parking but more importantly signage for the tourists --- both directions and place interest etc --- I suggest most the effort ($$) should go here --- better signs

Lots potential ‘Private’ parking downtown

If so needed then a business will fill the niche

	Did you expect other?
	True this group mainly earns their $$ from mobile consumers --- and true there was a provision for Parking Tax --- But let’s just put this study on shelf to collect dust along with 1985 study – awaiting time when population shows signs of approaching 16T
