The Plan has changed very little s nce the staff proposal of last sumner. Staff has met with DCDC, the Downtow Council and BOMA over the last three months and all three groups seem to s pport the Plan (only DCDC and BOMA testified in support of the Plan at the Ja uary 10, 1986, public hearing - there was no opposition). There were several encouraging comnents made during the public review including: - strong support for public initiatives in developing ma or public parking ramps downtown; - strong support for improving parking ramp maintenance nd security (we are following-up with ramp owners on this); - strong support for improving downtown signage (we are orking with Downtown Council developing a draft program); - general support for raising parking meter rates (mild isagreements from a couple of skyway merchants); - strong support for additional work on the aesthetics o downtown ramps; and - support for creating more public parking beyond specif ed in the Plan. The Planning Division will follow-up in the areas of ramp main enance, ramp design/aesthetics, downtown signage and (with Jim 0'Leary) a m jor ramp at 7th and St. Peter Streets. Please sign the cover letter to the City Council recomnending heir approval and transmit to them. Thank you. Since ly, , �• '���'��� Peggy A.

This 5-year s rategy plan is a direct outgrowth of the Downtown Framework, adopted by the City Council on January 28, 1986. PED staff and Planning Commission have work d with DCDC, the Downtown Council , and Building Owners and Managers Associa ion in the development and review of this Downtown Parking Plan. At the January 10, 1986, Planning Commission public hearing, r presentatives from BOMA and DCDC appeared in support of the Plan. No one ap eared in opposition. In f act, some in downtown are calling for a more mbitious approach to creating more public parking downtown. However, I believe this Plan to be prudent and at the same time help solve many of our downtown parking problems over the next 5 years. I am pleased to transmit this Downtown Parking Plan to the Cit Council and I urge your approval . Very truly yours, George Latimer Mayor GL:ss Attachment cc: Peggy A.

The plan represents a culmination of work begun by the Comnittee in May f 1985. At the public hearing two groups were represented: Building Owner and Managers Association, and Downtown Comnunity Development Council (DCDC). At the hearing Craig Rafferty representing DCDC requested that city st ff ineet with the long-range planning comnittee of DCDC to further discuss th downtown parking plan. At the end of the hearing the Commission referre the matter back to the Economic Development Comnittee for consideration of testimony. SUMMARY The comnents both at the public hearing and in the follow-up DC meeting were f avorable toward the major recommendations in the Downtown Parki g Plan. As a clarification, some of the comnents made by Bill Booth related a issue paper draft of parking ramp standards and not to the Downtown P king Plan - specifically. Staff had initiated discussions with BOMA in anti ipation of the Downtown Parking Plan adoption. The comments made by Mr. 6 th at the public hearing are still valid and should be considered by the onomic Development Committee when it evaluates the parking ramp standar s issues. Craig Rafferty's comnents did touch on some concern about raisin the parking meter rates. DCDC is following up with written comments to the lanning Corrmission. However, DCDC will not emphasize the parking meter ate issues since it was not discussed at any length at their follow-up meet'ng. Most of the comments at the DCDC meeting related to issues not within th scope of the Downtown Parking Plan as it is currently drafted. They raised s e longer range concerns about the need for parking as it relates to the r'verfront development and the "Mall of Nations". CONCLUSION The Planning Comnission hearing resulted in virtually no negativ carments directed toward the Downtown Parking Plan, and subsequent carmen s made by OCDC's Long-Range Planning Comnittee relate to possible subseque t planning activities and the parking downtown. Therefore, the Economic De elopment Cortmittee recomnends the Downtown Parking Plan. ��+°'� �.� ,� `� �`�' '� - ��`��ey.���� } � ��4�� �y` �i }k F `s"a .*� '' 2#'1k,�:�Y,k�`�� t�s���� � � ���� � � ��; � #� - � �i5 �. 5*�s�' x ..�{' 7 � rc a �� '+4��� �4��'�.�°_ ..,a �st.g«`�-.�. s� � . � - . � � Ra�'y��C��' C� ¢'��° t;s� Z' i �-�Qy,, "� �-� � .`° y''w'- ' n�.t 4 , .� ,� �,�� �""� t R '�`r�.�' �t .' � � r � '��'i..���z*,�.�,� 5"r�€��, w. r y ��n � ? t- s � , �a �r . �`' r � �, � a c' r'� f. � �.g.-s `'�3- ��'+ � . � t'' ���oE ��*'�i�``�'�� ��� t ..

BACKGItUUND This Uowntown Parkiny Plan is a direct outyrowth of the owntown Frame- work for Development: 1985-1990 adopted by the Planniny Commission in October of 1985. The Downtown Framework souyht concensu on the direction and approach for economic development downtown for the next 5 years. One of the expectations of the people who worked on the Downtown Framework was that specific actions would be taken to im lement the 5 ' year development approach. This Plan details specific a tions needed for downtown parking. The primary conclusion of the Downtown Framework' s parki g discussion is that readily accessible parking is an inteyral element o economic development downtown; that available parking is essential for the downtown employee, visitor and resident. The Downtown P rking Plan recognizes that conclusion and contains a program which an achieve greater accessibility in the next 5 years, and enable co tinuation of development downtown. II. INTRODUCTION Parking in downtown Saint Paul has been a constant focus for complaints and concern: "Parking is too expensive" , "I can't find place near enouyh to the store" , "The ramps are not safe, especiall at night" and simply "I can't find an empty space". For the past deca e the city has tried to respond to these concerns by institutiny modest programs such as the Shopper Parking Program, Super Shuttle as well as various meter enforcement schemes. These programs have had beneficial short-term effects on the problems but are not long-term solutions. In the mid-1970s the city and downtown interests adopted a concept of "fringe" parking facilities connected to the employment enter by transit. This concept became full-blown with the Downto People Mover as the transit, connecting the employment center to frin parking at the Civic Center ramp, as well as new facilities over I-9 , under the Lafayette Bridge and at Smith and Kellogg. Since then t downtown has developed as a pedestrian downtown with hiyh density dev opment, an extensive skyway system and hiyhly attractive indoor and utdoor spaces. The old DPM/fringe parkiny scheme, therefore is no longer appropriate. Recently, concerns about parkiny have become more intense as the lack of convenient parkiny has begun to adversely affect comme ce, entertainment activities and residential development down own. The development of new, convenient parkiny has not kept pace ith the amount of retail , office, entertainment and residential growth d wntown. The current parkiny situation may beyin to affect the pace of downtown development unless we attack the root causes of the parki g problems downtown: - there is an actual shortaye of needed parking in a few important areas; and - management policy of many existiny ramps and surface 1 ts does not adequately serve non-employee parking (shoppers, theat r goers, customers and residents) . 3 t This Parkiny Plan sets POLICY for dealing with the root causes of parkiny problems, and defines a new framework for adding additional parking and manaying existing parking. In addition, this Plan prescribes an ACTION PROGRAM to put this new framework in place. III. PARKING SUPPLY A. Background � The 1984 city inventory of downtown parkiny identified approximately 24,800 spaces and a demand for 28,000 spaces. Overall , this is a pretty favorable picture of supply and demand since at least some people park for free outside downtown and walk in (e.g. Harriet Island) . In determininy supply, all parkiny spaces in downtown (as defined in the map, page 5) were counted. Demand for parking was based on the assumptions that 30� of people coming downtown will use transit (buses and carpools) , and that people driving to downtown will park within that downtown boundary. PARKING DEMAND - 28,000 PARKING SUPPLY - 24,8U0 ".~�,� Housing Retail 3,200 urface 3,700 Lots Ramps pecial 11 ,000 12,300 Services 2,200* 3,800 --- —Hotel 300 . _ ___..�._ �Manufacturiny 100 Office 14,700 On-st reet (meters) 1,10U * Auditoria, theaters, libraries, museums, churches, clubs, Civic On-street Center (no meters) 500 B. Root Cause: Parkiny Shortage Until recently there was an adequate supply of parking downtown. However, in the past 5 years shortages have emerged which threaten future development downtown. Specifically, there are portions of downtown which have a surplus of parking and others that have a shortaye of it. Lowertown is the area with the biggest existing shortage. The 1984 par �ng inventory found that Lowertown, when the Galtier Plaza project is complete, has a shortage � well over 2,000 spaces. The lack of adequate parking in Lowertown has been caused in part by the following: - Conversion of industrial buildinys to residential uses with no additional on-site parking; 4 . • II►� � � � �� � � 11 ■ . 11 �\ � �� . � ' �1 ♦ � �� �/ _ . � � � 1, � . �'� �� � i ■ � � ♦ � ■ � •�'i ♦ • .� , � � • � • • �� -� � � ■ ■ .• ♦ � 9�, :�� ��;� �► � _ _ // ♦ , � �� ♦' �� ��� 1 .� � � �r� �� � � �� ������� ���� � � � { ' �s� ` � i� � � : �.�; , . � ���� '► � �� .;��> ,.���L �'1 � � .� .;� � � ��,�� � ♦ ♦ ♦ �� �� . . ♦ �� �- ♦ ��� - - ■ � ♦ � . ♦ � ♦ ♦ ♦ �, , � ♦ . �► � � � � ��►`� ► �; � ■ �� r r► � � � � > > ♦ ■ ���� � ���► . � ,��, � .� , � � � ♦ ■ � � 11► I ♦ .��► � ♦ ♦ ♦ � i . � ,>> � ♦ . ,� ♦ i � _ � \ ►_ � � . ,, ,� , � , ��,' ■ ' ■ ■ ■ � � � �� � � � � . • . - � � _ � � . � � 9 • •�so� az�w�u�w o� pue `s�ana� �'2M�C�s pue �aa��s ay� �e suo���auuo� ue�.��sapad �Csea a�ew o� a�q�ssod �ua�xa �sa�ea�6 ay� o� 6u���ed ape.�6 anoqe pl�n8 '9 •6u��.�ed a�qe<<ene �.o �'�ddns a�enbape ue o� ��eM ��o�q � P U lu�lM a�e .�a�ua� �uaw�'o�dw3 ay� u� s6uip<<nq <<e �ey� os 6u��.�ed Mau a�e�o� •5 •.�a�ua� �uaw�Co�dw3 ay� u� ����e.�� az�wtu�w o� .�a�ua� �uaw�'o�dw3 ay�. �o a6pa ay� uo 6u��.�ed Mau a�e�o� •ti •ssa��e R2MyBlu �ua�uanuo� y��M s�aa��s uo 6u��.�ed Mau a�e�o� •� •�a�ua� �uaw�Co�dw3 ay� o� 6u��.aed Mau wo�� suo���auuo� /CEMiC�S ap�no.�d •Z • (5 deW aas) 066i �q Ea.�e �1M a4� u� 005`i pue uMO�,�aMO� u� sa�eds 6u���ed �euo��ippe 000`Z �sea� �e a�ea.a� •j :uaddey �snw 6u�MO��o� ay� `spaau 6u��,�ed a.�n�n� pue 6u��sixa ay� �aaw ol �� tod •a 'spa�e asay� u� 6u�p<<nq wo�� pa6e.�no�s�p aq �'ew s��aCo�d Mau �o s�ado�anaa - pue : (s��odeauu�W `sq.�nqns) a�ayrnas�a o6 pue pa�e��sn�� �a6 �'ew sea.�e asay� u� s.�a<<e�a.� pue sa��}�o ay� �o suo.��ed - :��n��d��P �'.�an awo�aq �Cew s6u�p<<nq �u�e�en-�f��e��.�ed `6ut�s�xa 6u�sea� - :�ey� aq �few sa6p�,�oys asay� �}o sa�uanbasuo� an��e6au �e��ua�od •s�ea�' Ma� �xau ay� u� pado�anap aq � <<M 6u��,�ed a�e�,�ns y�tM s��o�q �ua�eCpy - pue `.(dwe,� .ae� OOZ-05I) a��s-uo �aw (OOZ`T) Puewap 6u��.�ed s�� �o ��e aneu �ou <<�M �1M ay� se y�ns �uawdo�anap asua�ui - :a�ay �uap�na a�e unno�.�anno� u� a6e��oys 6u��,�ed e o� �a� �.ey� spua�� awes ay� �.o awoS '886T �'q a6e��oys 6u��.�ed JP� 005`i P �SOW�2 aney �<<M 22J! s�y� pa�ew��sa s� �� `�f�o�uanu� ti86i ay� wo.�� s��nsa� 6u�s� •uoos .�n��o ���M a6e�.�oys �U L�JEC1 e a.�ayM PaJP J2u�0UP S L Pa.1P .�a�ua� ape.�l p��oM •an����adwo� aq o� 6ui��2d . u�-aso�� a,�ow paau u�lyM s�uawa6ue.�.�e asea� y�tM sa����o �a��ews o� 6u�p��nq u.�ay��oN uo�6u< <.�n8 pa�dn��o-�auMO ay� �o uo�s�anuo� - pue `.�odaQ uo�u� ay� se y�ns 6u�p��nq pasnun �o �uawdo�anapa� - `a�is-uo dwe,� JP� +ppg ay� �'q �aw IC��2 L�J2C1 /C�UO s� sa�eds 6u���ed 00£`t �o� puewap pa�ew��sa a.�ayM `PZE�d .�a���e� se y�ns `�uawdo�anap pa���sua�uI - � G,�� -.�-� IV. PARKING MANAGEMENT A. Background Perhaps even more important than the actual supply f parking is the public's perception of it: "Am I allowed to park h re?" "I know there' s parking, I just can't find it" and "I hate o park in that ramp because it's dirty and dark -- I don't feel sa e". Actually, ' the majority of parking is available for public use there are usually unoccupied parking spaces downtown, and alt ough some facilities are dirty and dark, they need not be. The inhospitable atmosphere created by parking mana ement policies is a long-lasting deterrent for people who miyht ot erwise shop, conduct business or come for entertainment downtown. Although it cannot be measured, this lack of inviting parking h s been a problem in boostiny retail sales. B. Root Cause: Inade uate Mana ement to Serve Non-Em 1 ee Parkin There are three aspects of inadequate manayement for non-employee parking: - the most convenient parking is often not availabl for non- employees; - the most convenient parking in ramps is often har to find; and - parking ramp appearances are often dirty and fore oding. Each is described below. 1. Most convenient arkin is not available for non em lo ees. Metered, on-street arkin is the most convenien and visible downtown parking. Time imits on meters in the mployment Center are mostly 1 hour, which encourayes turno er and is still long enough for people to complete brief shoppin or business trips. However, meter rates downtown are so che p that they encourage "plugging" of ineters by people stayiny more than 1 hour. Because meter rates are only 50 cents per hour (substantially lower than parking ramp rates whi h are generally 75 cents to $1.25 per hour) plugging is common d wntown. Parkin in the most convenient downtown arkin am s is often taken by employees who get downtown on weekdays Cefore visitors and shoppers. And many employees do use those p rking spaces because long-term parking rates in the Employmen Center are not so high as to discourage such behavior. For exa ple, the 1985 Downtown Parking Survey - Winter found that almo 75% of spaces in large ramps were reserved for monthly contract parking -- not available to visitors. At the same time, over ha f of the visitors to downtown complained about a lack of p rking. Since many ramps operators see their regular clientele s the downtown employees and major businesses, the operators nat rally cater to the parking needs of the employees. This is very understandable but it discourages visitors from c ming back. 7 2. Much of the convenient arkin cannot be found b the occasiona visitor because ramps are often sma and hidden by lar e develo ment. As an example, the surface lots at 7th and Wa asha traditionally fill up when adjacent ramps in Daytons, Town Square and City Walk have vacancies. People can see that these surface lots are available to the public but probably do not even know that City Walk is available for public parking. In addition, there is no uniform signage for parking available to the public. 3. Parking ramp maintenance is poor in some ramps. Some ramps are so dirty, dark and seemingly unsafe for pedestrians that parkers (especially visitors) do not come back to downtown. The Downtown Parkiny Survey found that security was an important consideration for downtown parkers. The things people considered most important to feeling secure were: yood lighting, presence of an attendant, cleanliness, and security cameras. These factors are especially critical for nighttime visitors when it is dark out and there are fewer people around. In addition, the yeneral state of disrepair (especially painting and daily cleaning) discourages use. C. Policy To improve parking management for the benefit of employees as well as non-employees, the following must happen: 1. Attain adherence to on-street meter time limits. 2. Establish a price structure in ramps which favors visitor parking in the most convenient locations -- particularly near shopping and entertainment activities. Parking which is somewhat more distant from these areas should favor employees with low, long-term rates. 3. Establish a proyram and/or ordinance to ensure that ramps are maintained to reasonable standards regarding: lighting; cleanliness; security; and signage. 4. Develop a system of siynage to direct visitors to parkiny available to the public. 5. Design new ramps with sufficient setbacks and attractive materials to complement the downtown environment. V. 5 YEAR ACTION PROGRAM Introduction The private sector has not created any additional parking for general public use for quite some time. Over the past 10 years much of the public investment in private developments assisted parking ramps underneath large developments. Those parking ramps are now privately owned and operated to primarily benefit on-site tenants and employees. This system has helped attract new office develop- ment but has not been as helpful to older businesses which lack parking, nor has it helped retailers who rely on off-site parking. 8 . � Ci---�-�� As development has occurred downtown this trend fo new parking has increasingly hurt those who rely on public parking for visitors. And the economics of building private for profit parking structures continues to be poor due to the cost of financing d property taxes. Given the fact that privately-financed park'ng is not profitable and (when built as part of a laryer proj ct) does not serve needs of visitors, it is justifiable for the ity to take , action to see parking is provided. Recognizing thi situation, the Downtown Frarnework recommends that the city " ...exp nd its role as a parking facility developer." The City should therefore assume the primary role i management of the downtown parking system, recognizing parking as part of the public inf rastructure and its essential role in eco omic development. A. Increase Parking Supply in Key Locations To best meet the emer ing arkin needs in Lowertow and the WTC area, the Cit should: undertake the desi n, finan in and management o ar e ub ic arkin facilit on the ub ic -owned B ock L b 1988 • and �nvesti ate the otentia of a lar e ub ic arkin faci it to be bui t at a Seventh and St. P ter site b 1990 . The sites and timing of those two facilities have b en chosen to coincide with the pace and location of development. As such they represent a 5-year strategy. However, additional r mps may be warranted in the future. If development continues o outpace the creation of parking, other sites to be considered i clude the Old Uonaldson' s ramp block and the Metro Square lot. I addition, substantial development along the Riverfront may ju tify considering a public parking rarnp in that area. B. Im lement a More Pro ressive Parkin Mana ement Sch me Strong action is needed to better manage the existi g parking downtown: First, the City must increase on-street meter rates in the E�oyment Center to at least equal rates and hopef lly surpass rates charged in the ramps. That means an increase to at least $1.OU per hour and perhaps $1.25 an hour. Since co venience is at a premium downtown, our most convenient parkiny must lso be our most expensive parking to yain desired turnover. Second, the City must enforce on-street parking laws and enforce them on a regular schedule Monday through Saturday :00-4:30 (turnover problems are historically worst on Saturda ) . Third, management of the publicly-owned ramps must e ploy a price structure to accommodate short-term parkers, especia ly in the evenings and on weekends. This should be done in co junction with the recent private initiative to reduce evening rate . 9 Fourth, develop standards of maintenance for public ramps for lig ith ny, cleanliness, security and signage, and apply those standards by way of an ordinance to require compliance by private ramp owners. The City should develop a p�ogram of financial assistance to help defray some of the costs for ordinance compliance. Fifth, adopt and implement a Pathfinder Signaye Program to direct � vis tors to appropriate parking facilities. VI. SUMMARY Parking downtown should be viewed as an essential element of the street and transportation system for downtown. At the same time, parking is an important economic development tool . However, this new public initiative in parking should in no way absolve the private development in its parking responsibilities. Rather, it will be viewed as part of the urban infrastructure to be supported by those who benefit most, as well as support from parking ramp revenues. If built and managed correctly, downtown parking will no longer be the focus for complaint and concern, but will benefit the economic vitality and physical environment of downtown. 10 � ��-�� -s.�� TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS IV.
