FISHER CHRIS R, KABELLA OF COUNSEL ' Ja uary 28, 1988 The Honorable George Latimer Mayor, City of Saint Paul 347 City Hall St. Paul , MN 55102 Dear Mayor Latimer: My wife and I recently enro led our baby daughter in the Kindercare Center in the Degree of Honor Bu'lding. It appears to be a fine establishment and its location i ideal for parents who work downtown. However, the fifteen minute par ing meters in front of the Center on 4th Street are only enforced betwee the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (and even during those hours enforce ent -is spotty) . The problem is that most parents are dropping their chil ren off before 8:00 a.m. and they are picking them up after 4:30 p.m. For the safety and convenience of the parents and children who use th s facility, it makes sense that the meters run from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p m. Better yet, perhaps the area in front of the Center could be limited n the early morning and late afternoon to "daycare center pickups only". Thank you for your attenti n to this matter.

I appreciate the thoroughness of the inform tion that you provided. I shared the memo and all he supporting information with the Mayor. He is anxious to a commodate downtown day care opportunities and believes that expanding the enforcement on the three meters from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. would serve KinderCare parents during eak drop-off and pick-up times. To accomplish this the Mayor as instructed the City Attorney's Office, specifically Jerry Segal, to draft an amendment to the ordinance to allow for thi expansion of hours for those three meters. Mr. Segal will b returning the draft amendment to me and I will route it to th City Council. I am copying you on the m mo to Jerry Segal and the letter to KinderCare.

I share your concern that parents using your c nter are unable to .park during peak drop-off and pick-up time . We had hoped that the 15-minute meters would be helpful a d did not realize that the problem of drop-offs before 8:00 .m. and pick-ups after 4:30 p.m. would pose a problem. To alleviate this problem I am instructing the City Attorney to draft an amendment to he ordinance that restricts our ability to monitor those hree meters before 8:00 a.m. and after 4:30 p.m. This am dment will have to pass the City Council. I will have my Assistant, Chris .park, notify you when it will be on the C uncil ageAda so you and some of your more concerned parents c n attend the meeting to support the need for this departure rom the standard meter enforcement hours. We need to be aware of t e fact that enforcement of those and all meters cannot be con tant.

The Center is close to many parents' work and is conveniently connected with the St. Paul skyway system. There is, however, one big drawback - the parking. Three five-minute meters were or ginally installed on Fourth Street for Center parents. With the five-mi ute meters, however, Kinder-Care parents were issued parking tickets beca se it took longer than five minutes to pick up or drop off their child en. The meters were only enforced from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM which create another problem. Before 8:00 and after 4:30, cars other than day care p rents' would park in the spots for longer periods of time than the five mi utes, leaving no spots open for parents. As one can assume, before 8:00 nd after 4:30 are the times of the day the spaces are needed the most. To solve the problem of parent getting tickets, 15-minute meters were installed in place of the five-mi ute meters. This helped the ticket problem but created another. The tend ncy for more non-parent cars to use the spaces rose. Now parents very seldom find the meters open at all, and the before 8:00 and after 4:30 pr blem continues to exist. Holidays create even more proble s. On these dates, no meters are enforced at all. Many of our parents, owever, still work and utilize the Center. No parking is anywhere to be fou d on these days. One day upon arriving at the C nter, the meters were capped with red "No Parking" signs. Later that da the street was filled with pink Mary Kay cars. As it turns out, Mary ay was having a meeting at the Radisson. Parents were extremely hostile on this particular day. How is it that , some organizations can have full street accessibility and others none? ` . . � � . . - � �-�� _ _ . � � `�� Mayor George Latimer March 22, 1988 Page Two As a director who has seen many arents run through the Center and say, "Hurry, Joe, we have to run, I'm il egally parked" or "I had to drive around the block four times to find a pa king place and now I have to walk three blocks with four-month-old Sara," I insist that something be done. Kinder-Care has fulfilled a great need in the downtown area for day care. Parent complaints are a big conc rn to Kinder-Care, and the number one complaint heard at this Center is t e parking problem. I suggest that signs be placed y the meters saying, "Day Care Parking Only between the hours of 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday." In order for this Center to be acce sible to parents, we must work something out with the parking problem. I is a deep concern for both Kinder-Care and its parents. If we are e periencing these types of problems at approximately 50% occupancy, what ill it be like when we reach 100%? Your assistance and cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Johnson �`-� K�, Traffic Engineering , / ) � `V,` .. J�'I�tVF DATE: March 23, 1988 SUBJECT: On Street Parking for Kin ercare Daycare I have been asked by Don Sobania, th City Traffic Engineer, to provide you with the history and possible alternatives to the on-street parking situation adjacent to the Degree of Honor building. On May 8, 1987, Mr. George Lantend of Roseville Properties, approached the Traffic Engineering Division requesting a 5-m nute loading zone for the daycare center which was to open approximately August 31 1987. When consulted on this matter, the St. Paul Police Department felt installation of s ort-term meters would aid in the enforcement of this limited time zone. Two weeks prior to the opening of the Kindercare facilities, three meters on the south side of Fourth St. west o Minnesota St. were converted from one-hour meters to 5-minute meters. On October 23, 1987, the St. Paul Po ice Department Surface Parking unit requested our office to re-examine the installation of these 5-minute meters, based upon their observation of low usage. Based on his request, a tumover study was conducted to substantiate the Police Department's bservation. The results of our studies indicated little demand by the daycare facility and n merous abuses of the meters. (see attached reports). On January 5, 1988, Mr. Letendre a Tracy Petersvn, manager of Kindercare, agreed to convert the 5-minute meters to 15-mi ute meters in an attempt to better serve the needs of , parents transporting children to and om the facility. At thQ Fresent time,there appears t be several options to address on-street parking at this location: - i r f m t r �r� n . Section 160.03 of the Legislative Code stipulates that oarking met rs shall be in effect and be enforced Monday through Saturday between the hou of 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM. This section of the code would need to be amende #o either extend the hours of all meters or grant the Traffic Engineer the discre ion to designate extended hours at particular locations, based upon the indings of an investigation. � � . . �� i � ' . � ' � Page The current hours of enforceme t were amended in 1985 to promote downtown businesses and special events i the evening. If the hours of enforcement were to be extended in either case th question of enforcement becomes a problem. Given the present staffing of th Surface Parking unit and the priorities of enforcement in rush hour perio s, coverage of these extended meters would be minimal, at best. - Siqned drop-off zone. Anoth r alternative would be to remove the 15-minute meters and install a signed dro -off zone. This zone would require some type of generic wording indicating load ng/unloading for the daycare center , since a specific business or building not be designated. This zone would be extremely difficult, if not impos ible to enforce, as the parking enforcement officer would have no way of verifing aycare patrons . Also, officers would have no means of determining the leng h of stay of such vehicles, unless the vehicle were to be marked and re-observed pon the expiration of the allotted time. Manpower issues identical to modifying th hours of enforcement would also be a factor. The creation of such a drop-o zone would most likely be looked at unfavorably by neighboring businesses an result in requests for similar zones. - R m v II h rm mete . Our studies indicate very little demand and usage of these meters. - Do nothing Since the parkin meters were converted to 15 minute meters the only "complaint" has been tha of one individual. The traffic division has had no further requests from either th daycare manager or the property management for changes. The daycare mana er did request extended enforcement prior to conversion to 15-minute mete , at which time the situation was outlined to her. Based on the results of our investigati ns and the history of this location, it is the position of the Traffic Engineering Division to mai tain the status quo. While we are sympathetic to the issue of child care and its importan e to parents working in the Downtown area, further changes would not seem to benefit th general public .
