One purpose of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of different parking solutions to reducing congestion in the neighborhood. Resuits of the study show there is a significant demand for parking in the neighborhood. The results also show that the shuttle did have a posirive impact in reducing congestion in the neighbarhood, but that parking within a 1500 foot radius of the park entrance is at such a premium, that those parking spaces will always be preferable to the shuttle unless parking resh aze enacted. Studies done before and after the shuttle service started indicate that the shuttle did reduce pazking in areas further than 1500 feet from the park entrance and significantly reduced parking in the neighborhood as a whole and is therefore, a benefit to the community. During the parking study period, Public Works received a petition from residents requesting crearion of a new Residential Permit Parking Area (RPPA). Public Works is required by City Charter to react to such a petition and so the feasibility of alternatives to residential permit parking was not explored in the scope of this study. Based on the parking study results, Public Works recommends both continuing shuttie service next season and expanding shuttle service days to weekdays. Parks desires and is working to implement both recommended strategies. However, establishment of a new RPPA would potentially eliminate the State Fair as a viable shuttle location for weekday service. The residential permit parking area submitted in the perition is within roughiy a 1500 foot radius of the park entrance and is therefore one acceptable solution to relieving pazking pressure in the area. Public Warks recommends the District Council consider that a broader traffic study is underway by the Parks Department and that creating a Residenrial Permit Parking area now may force shuttle service to be discontinued after 2010. Parks and the State Fair currently have an agreement to use State Fair parking lots for Como Park patrons using the shuttle. Permit parking jeopardizes shuttle service because the State Fair considers it as eliminating public parking, thus creating heavier reliance on State Fair parking facilities which changes the terms of any future agreement. Therefore, Public Works recommends either postponing implementing the new Residential Permit Parking Area in 2010 or implementing it on a trial basis for one year and than reevaluating when results of the broader traffic study and results of daily shuttle service are available. Scope of Studv Numerous studies have been conducted on traffic and parking issues for the Como Campus over the years. This study does NOT consider recommendations of past studies, evaluate parking supply within the Como campus, or projected future demand to the campus due to future improvements. This study evaluates the present pazking conditions during peak months for a very small area west of the Como campus before and after Page 2 of 7 10-182 shuttle service started. The neighborhood east of Lexington Parkway is considered a separate area and was not evaluated in this study. Backaround St. Paul Public Works and Parks and Recreation were approached in fail of 2008 by residents expressing concerns about lack of parking in the neighborhood for residents due to activities at the State Fair ground and the Como campus and expressed interest in creating residential permit parldng. Public Works and Parks agreed to conduct a parking study during the sunuuer of 2009 to see if the anticipated Como shuttle service would reduce parking demand to the neighborhood enough that residential permit parking would not be needed and to explore other solutions. Midstream, a valid petition for residential permit parking was received by Public Works. The streets in the petition were similar to the parking study area. The petition requests to install "No Parking,l0 am to 4 pm, Monday — Sunday, May 1 to September 30, Except by Permit." The general sequence of events in establishing a new Residential Permit Parking area is as follows: • Neighbors talk amongst themselves and to their District Council • A public informational meeting for the affected area is held • Traffic Engineering conducts a parking survey • A perition form created by Public Works containing the new parking regulations and blocks in the azea is circulated by the petitioner. (The petition area must contain at least 8 block faces and be approved by at least 60% of the property owners within the affected area to be considered.) • The District Council is notified of a valid petition as Public Warks likes to have their support before moving forward. • A public hearing is scheduled so City Council can pass the resolution creating a new residential permit parking area. • Signs will be installed approximately 30 days after the public hearing. (Any and all affected residents can purchase permits from Traffic Engineering during those 30 days.) This process typically takes a minimum of 6 months to 1 year. The lengthiest piece is usually the petition process. Since the petition was received before a public meering was held, the September 24�' meeting served as the initial public informational meeting. Since the September meeting, Parks has secured funding for a broader traffic and parking study and the Parks has raised concerns that RPP may eliminate feasibility of daily shuttle service. This report makes recommendations to the District Council and residents of District 10 may vote on some form of these recommendations in November. If the District Council still wants to move forward with permit pazking, Public Warks will get a public hearing with a resolution to create a new permit parking area scheduled on the Council agenda. All property owners in the proposed permit parking area will be notified by mail befare the hearing. The City Council ultimately decides whether a new residential permit parking area will be established. Page 3 of 7 10-182 Details of Studv The study azea was defined by the streets some residents indicated would be candidates for petitioning for residential permit pazking, as shown in Appendix A Como Parking and Petition Area Map. The parking study was done on specific weekends before and after shuttle service started. Appendix B Como Parking Study and Shuttle Schedule, shows dates data was collected for the study and the dates and locations of the shuttle service. Data was collected at different times during the study weekends. For each data set, the number of cars parked on each street face was recorded. The detailed results of a1123 data sets and baseline conditions for each block face are presented in the Appendix C Como Parking Study Data. Evaluation The data was grouped into three categories, before shuttle, holiday weekend after shuttle, and after shuttle. For each block face, the average number of cars parked, percentage parked and range were calculated. These numbers were compared to the baseline condition when only residents were parked and to the macimum number of cars that could legally park on each block face. Each block was then evaluated considering the percentage parked after shuttle service started. Blocks over 75% pazked were considered heavily parked. A recommendation was then made for each block face based on the study results. The recommendations by block are found in Appendix D Como Parking Study Block by Block Summary and Recommendations. The data for each block was also totaled so that the impact of the shuttle service to the neighborhood as a whole couid be evaluated. This data can be found in Appendix E Como Area Parking Study Summary and shows that as the summer progressed, both shuttle ridership increased and the number of vehicles parked in the neighborhood decreased. The data shows that although there is still parking demand to the neighborhood after the shuttle is in place, the shuttle has a measurable positive impact to reducing parking demand in the neighborhood and is a benefit. Comments on the Petition The petition for Residential Permit Pazking that Public Works has received is only one solurion to parking congestion. It is not clear to what degree residents were advised or aware of the City's efforts to alleviate parking and traffic congestion that are occurring simultaneous to the petition for a RPPA. The petition area, months of the year, days of the week, times of day, etc. were defined by the group that petitioned. Because a public meeting was not held first, Public Warks is uncertain as to what residents were told when they signed the petition. It is difficult to project if the new permit area will be sufficient, or if parking will be pushed fiirther out into the neighbarhood. Once a permit azea is created, other blocks may petition to be included in the pernut area. Each addition requires 60% owner approval of the area to be added and must go through the City Council process with a public hearing. New develouments since Draft Reaort on Como Area Preliminarv ParkinE Studv Smce the draft of this report was written, there have been several key developments regarding parking in the Como area. The first is a letter from the State Fair to the St. Paul Page 4 of 7 10-182 Pazks Aepartment stating that pazking for the shuttle on State Fair Grounds may not be available under the same terms (free use) in 2010 if RPP is uutiated and that expansion to weekdays in 2010 may also not be feasible to implement as once thought possible. If so, the traffic that was reduced by having the shuttle would be circulating around the neighborhood again, increasing congestion. The second is that the City Council has awarded $100,000 to the Parks Department to conduct a parking shxdy of the Como Park area to address the area parking needs. Some residents are concerned that the Polar Beaz exhibit opening in 2010 will have a major traffic impact to the neighborhood. The long term effect will likely be insignificant and in 2010, 100 parking spaces that were not available in 2008 and 2009 due to Polar Bear Odyssey conshuction are expected to return to the Como Park parking inventory. Public Works will continue to work with Parks to see that this future study adequately defines the Como Park parking needs of the Como facility and traffic impact to the broader community. The final development involves interest in expanding the boundaries of the permit parking area or creating a new permit parking area. The most likely of these is the possible addition of the block of Sheldon from Frankson to Arlington to the inirial permit parking area. A petition is currentiy in circulation with a November 12` deadline. Interest in petitioning for expanding permit parking was expressed in other azeas such as on Como Avenue west of Hamline, but residents decided not to pursue the petition process. Another resident wanted to create permit parking around Lynnblomstein and Java Train. He has received information on creating a new permit area, but would not be eligible to be added to the proposed permit parking area. Recommendations Public Warks recommends that Parks conducts the broader study of the Como Park area and that the Residential Permit Parking be either be postponed or implemented on a trial basis for one year and than reevaluated when results of the broader study are available. Public Works will also recommend to City Council that Public Works conrinues to study the area in 2010 and do a report to Council. Public Works recommends maintaining existing shuttle service levels and expanding shuttle service to weekdays. Public Works will allow parking restrictions within a 1,500 foot radius of the park entrance. Studies show that 1,500 to 2,000 feet is an acceptable walking distance for special events (National Parking Association Pazking article, May 2008). Public Works strongly recommends the District Council consider alternatives to Residential Permit Parking such as changes to parking along Hamline Avenue. Residential Permit Pazking has pros and cons. Although residents see a benefit with the ability to park on their street, it comes at a monetary cost. Como Park serves a variety of visitors from Zoo and Conservatory to Comotown to picnic Pavilion users. One group that will be underserved is Pavilion users who are not candidates for using the shuttle and will have no altemarive parldng unless Hamline Avenue is an option. Page 5 of 7 io-is2 If the alternatives are not wnsidered, Public Works recommends accepting the petition for residential permit parking with the following exception as shown in Appendix A Como Parking and Petition Area Map: reducing the permit area to exciude both sides of Frankson from Mckinley to Pascal because the parking conditions on these block faces during all phases of the study were close to the baseline and the cost of permit parking will outweigh the benefit to residents. Portions of Sheldon, Almond and Aibany fall within the 1500 foot radius and are therefare eligible to petition, but add'mg those blocks to the area is not recommended. One reason for this is these blocks see a real benefit from the shuttle service to alieviating parking demand. Residents within the new residential permit parking area would be eligible for up to 4 vehicle permits and 2 visitor permits. The reduced petitioned permit area would include blocks E, F, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, S and V. In this area, 20 cazs were parked during baseline conditions and an average of 86 cars (or the area was 69% parked up) were parked during the after shuttle study period. A total of 125 parking spaces out of 418 spaces in the totai study area (30%) would become Residential Permit Parking only. Public Works recommends to Parks creating incentives for shuttle service users such as real time parking conditions posted on dynamic display signs, a kiosk with updates on park features at the main entrance to the shuttle parking lot and adding information about the shuttle service on the Comotown website. Other incentives such as discounts to Comotown or coupons for rides as Comotown for shuttle use could also be considered. AlYernatives to Residential Permit Parkin One alternative to Residential Permit Parking for residents on Hamline between Arlington and Como is switching the parking restriction from the east side of Hamline Avenue to the west side of Hamline Avenue. If this was done, 15 additional parking spaces could be created on the park side of the street. This would also address safety concerns raised by residents on Hamline about the difficulty they have backing out of their driveways because of parked cars that restrict visibility and mobility. However, some residents do not have alley access and since only a small number of parking spaces aze gained at the expense of convenience to residents, this alternative is not recommended. Allowing parking on both sides of Hamline was considered, but is not feasible today because the street width on Hamline Avenue is only 36.5 feet wide which is not wide enough to allow parking on both sides of the street. A third option is widening Hamline Avenue between Arlington and Como by two feet on the east side of the street to 38 feet to allow two sided pazking and create 84 additional spots on the park side of the street, at a cost of roughly $84,000. This would increase the available parking on Hamline from 69 spaces to 153 spaces, a significant increase and favorable to building a parking ramp on the Como campus. Due to the geometty of the Page 6 of 7 io-isa blocks, widening the block from Arlington to Frankson only would be the most beneficial because 38 spots could be created at a cost of around $38,000. Another altemative to Residential Pemut Parking are Limited Time Zones. Limited time zones are typically between 30 minutes to 2 hours in length and the restricrion applies to anyone in the zone, resident or othenvise. Limited time zones are intended to create turnover to parking in high demand parking areas. The District Council could also recommend making changes to the "No Parking State Fair" sign on an area wide basis. All of the above listed alternatives and additional potential measures within Como Park lots and roadways are expected to be evaluated as part of the funded $100,000 parking study which is being initiated and will commence shortly. Special Considerations for Como Parking Area If a new Residential Permit Parking area is established in the Como area, some exceptions to the general residential permit parking procedures will apply. (See the website at www.stoaul.eov/ResidentialPermitParki� for general information on Residential Permit Parking.) For example, the parking restricfions on the submitted petition are only in effect from May l through September 30 All existing permit parking areas are in effect year round and have a renewai date of September l The proposed residenrial permit parking area would have a renewal date of May 1 s ` and permits would srill be $10 apiece. Additionally, due to the proximity of this area to the Minnesota State Fair Grounds, no Special Event permits will be issued or considered to be valid during the State Fair. Concerns have also been expressed that permit holders will be tempted to misuse their Special Event permits by bartering or selling them on weekends to park users, thus defeating the purpose of RPP.

Given these concerns, residents held a public meeting in September of 2009 to secwe neighborhood input on pursuing Residential Permit Parking and subsequently petitioned their neighbors to create a Residential Permit Pazking Area (hereinafter "RPPA"), located in an area west of Como Park. That said RPPA was peritioned was as follows: No Parking 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 p.m., Monday thru Sunday, May I to September 30, Except by Permit. The blocks requesting this pecmit include the following: North side of Midway Pkwy from Hamline Avenue to the westem property line of 1421 Midway Pkwy; South side of Midway Pazkway from Hamline Avenue to the westem properiy line of 1406 Midway Parkway; West side of Hamline Avenue from Como Avenue to Arling[on Avenue; South side of Frankson Avenue from Hamline Avenue to the westera property tine of 1428 Fraiilcson Avenue; North side of Frankson Avenue from Hamline Avenue to Pascal 5treet; Both sides of Canfield Avenue from Haviline Avenue to westem dead end of C�eld Avenue, After said neighbors secured the required number of signatures from the property owners in the above menrianed azea, they submitted a valid RPPA request to Saint Paul Public Works (hereinafrer "PW") requesting the creation of the new RPPA. At or azound the same time, PW began a pazking study to observe parking patterns and the ]mpact o£ the Como Pazk ShutCle had on pazking within the effected neighborhood west of Como Park. That Disri 10 has taken steps to notify the residents of the area west of Como Pazk by holding meetings, flyering the area immediately effeeted, and posting information on its web page. On September 24, 2009, District 10, by way of its Neighborhood Relations Committee held an informational meeting where PW reported its preliminary findings, answered questions for residents in attendance, and informed that should the residents support permit parking, it would recommend it be implexnented as follows: No Pazking 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 p.m., Monday thru Sunday, May 1 to September 30, Except by Pernut. The blocks requesting ilvs permit include the following: 10-182 North side of Midway Pkwy from Hamline Avenue to the westem property line of 1421 Midway Pkwy; South side of Midway Parkway from Hamline Avenue to the westem property line of 1406 Midway Pazicway; West side of Hamline Avenue from Como Avenue to Arlington Aveuue; South side of Fraukson Avenue from Hamline Avenue to the westem pmperty line of 1404 Frankson Avenue; North side of Frenkson Avenue &om Hamline Avenue to North Albert Street Both sides of Canfield Avenue from Ilamline Avenue to western dead end of Canfield Avenue. That since this preliminary recommendation, PW has issued a"Final Report on Como Area Preliminary Pazking Study." That in said report, PW makes the foliowing final recommendarions: • That Pazks conducu a broader study of the Como Pazk azea. • That PW recommends maintaining the existing shuttle service levels and expanding shuttle service to weekdays. • PW recommends that Residential Pernut Pazking be either postponed or implemented on a trial basis for one year (thereafter being re-evaluated when results of a broader study aze available). • PW recommends to City Council that PW continue to study the area west of Como Pazk in 2010 with a full report back to the City Council on those results. • PW recommends that the District Council consider alternatives to Residential Permit Pazking. Such alternatives include: o PW recommended widening Hamline Avenue between Arlington and Como by two feet on the east side of the street to 38 feet. By doing so, allows two sided pazking. W ould create 84 additional pazking spots on the pazk side of the street, and costs approximately $84,000. Increase available pazking on Hamline from 69 spaces to 153 spaces. o PW recommended Limited Time Zones. Typically between 30 minutes to 2 hours in length and the restriction applies to anyone in the zone, resident or otherwise. Intention is to create turnover to pazking in high demand parking azeas. o PW suggested that District 10 could make recouunendations to the already existing "No Parking State Fair" sign on an area wide basis. • PW recommends that if no altemarives are considered, then it would recommend accepting the petition for the RPPA filed by the residenu, less the homes on Frankson Avenue as outlined below: No Parking 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 p.m., Monday ttuu Sunday, May 1 ro September 3Q Except by Peimit. The blocks requesting tl�is permit include the foltowing: North side of Midway Pkwy &om Hamline Avenue to the westem property line of 1421 Midway Pkwy; South side of Midway Parkway &om Hamline Avenue to the western properiy line of 1406 Midway Pazkway; West side of Hamline Avenue &om Como Avenue to Arlington Avenue; South side of Frankson Avenue from Hamline Avenue to the western property line of 1404 Frankson Avenue; North side of Franksoa Avenue from Hamline Avenue to North Albert Street; Both sides of Canfield Avenue from Hamline Avenue to westem dead end of Canfield Avenue. • That in addition, PW will require special exceptions to the general rules of RPPAs: io-�aa All existing pe�mit parking areas are in effect year rouad and have a renewal date of September 1. The proposed RPPA would have a renewal date of May 1, and the cost would still be tbe standard $10.00 per pecmit. Additionally, due to the proximity of this area to the Minnesota State Fair Growds, no Special Event perniits would be issued or coasidered to be vatid d�ain� the State Faa. Having reviewed the facts, listened to the residents, reviewed the recommended alternatives and taken a public vote of District 10 residents, let it hereby be resolved as follows: The District 10 Community hereby supports implementation of the neighbors' original RPPA without a sunset period, which means that the boundaries of the RPPA will be: No Parking 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 p.m., Monday tUru Sunday, May 1 to SeQtember 30, Except by Permit. The blocks requesting this permit include the following: Nor[h side of Midway Pkwy from Hamline Avenue to the westem property line of 1421 Midway Pkwy; South side of Midway Parkway from Hamline Avenue to the westem properiy line of 1406 Midway Parkway; West side of Hamline Avenue &om Como Avenue to Arliagton Avenue; South side of Frankson Avenue from Hamline Avenue to the westem property liue of 1428 Frankson Avenue; North side of Frankson Avenue &om Hamline Avenue to Pascal Street; Both sides of Canfield Avenue from Hamline Avenue to western dead end of the 1300 block of Canfield Avenue. Tt�at in addition, the District 10 Community supports the recommendation by the Saint Paul Department of Public Works to require special exceptions to the general rules of the RPPA as follows: All existing permit patking areas aze in effect year round and have a renewal date of September I. The proposed RPPA would have a renewal da.te of May 1, and the cost would still be the standard $10.00 per petmit. Additionally, due to the proximity of this azea to the Minnesota State Fair Grounds, no Special Event permits would be issued or considered to be valid during the State Fau. That the District 10 Community request the public hearing before the City Council on the petition for a RPPA be scheduled for February 17`" (third week of February) and petitions for additional blocks be included if they aze submitted by December 15 2009, � ,. Be It Further Resolved that the District 10 Community supports a broader study of pazking and traffic issues in and azound Como Park as long as the study includes participation from the neighborhood in every phase from scoping to recommendation. ; �� , �. .� , `�i� �_ j � — -. �. : _ ,-� .._- Leah Johnson Qhair District 10 Como Community Council 10-182 Der,nis O'Raurke 1371 Midway Parkway Saint Paul, IvLV 551�8 651-641-0834 (h) 612-348-6597 (o) Auwst 5, 2009 Bruce Beese Public Warks D'uectar City of Saint Paul 1500 City Hall Annex 25 West Fourth Street Saint Paul, MN 55102 Dear Mr. Beese: Attached are copies of petitior.s requesting pernuT parking as required by City Ordinance # 168. It is with mixed emotions that ttus permit is filed. While tha community values the use and appreciation of Como Park by the general public, the community has reached the point at which we can no longer function as an additional parkin� lot for Como Park. The residents of the permit parinng petition area share your Department's mission ta ensure a safe and livable capital city for atl. Unfortunately, the level of garking and traffic in our community has significantiy and negatively impact the community's safety and livability. Given the overwhelming growth of visitors to Como Park, our community does not have sufficient off- street parking to safely accommodate both the residential parking needs of the residents and the parking needs of non-residents. The frequent parking of vehicies in this residential azea by these non-residential users has also created safety, environmental and aesthetic problems. �Vhile we greatiy appreciata the city's efforts to implement a shuttle service, the past few months have proven that, while helpful, it is not an adequate solution to the pazldng and traffic pressures our community faces. According to the Metropolitan Council, visitors to Como Regionat Park, Zoo and Conseroatory topped 3 million in 2008 and it is the second most visited regional �ark in the metropolitan area. Metropolitan Council figures also show that in the 20 years between 1998 and 2008, usage of Como Park grew 73%. During the closest twenty years per Census records, from 1990 to Zd10, populaTion in the meLropolitan region grew by approximately 31 %. Sq the usage of Como Park is more than double that of the population �owth in a similaz rime period. The 3 million visitors to Como Park exceeds the annual turn out for Twin's home games in 2007, which was appro�mately 23 million and exceeds the highest annual attendance at the Minnesota Zoo, which was just over 1.3 million for the fiscai year that just ended. 10-182 The trend of growiag use af Como Park continues in 2009 as demons�ated by a presentatian from Saint Pa:�I Park staff a± a commun�ty meeting on the new Como Park shutfle service that a new visitar record had been set this year. They reported the esrimate of the uutr�er of visitors to the Zoo and Conservatory on the S�anday ofMsmoriat Day weekend was agproairnats2p 21,000 visitors. Whiie residents ehviously knew they were purchasing a home adjace�t to a regionat par�, I doubt that anyone, including city officials anticipated the tremendaus �otivth ofpark visitors. When I pi;rchased our home, many, many years ago, the zoo and rides were in poar repair, zoo animais were in small cages and the master plan for Yhe park called for a parldng ramp and moving the rides to a more interior area of the gark. The zao and the amusement rides are now well maintained and animals are in settings that aze much Lnore reflective of a natural environment. However the pazlang ramp and movement of the amusement azea further into the park have not materialized; tfius, whether those a�tions would bave mitigated today's situarion cannot be known. As a result, we now believe our only recourse is permit parking regularions for our community. We believe that permit parking will enhance the quality of life in our neighborhood by reducing noise, traffic hazards and litter, and a'u pollution; wi11 preserve the safety of childrea and other pedestrians, wili reserve one of the many fine communities that makes St. Paut so special; will further support the usage of the shuttle system; and will pratect the residents of this area from continued unreasonable burdens in gaining access to their residences. The attached petition covers an area thaY exceeds both the 4,000 linear footage and the 8 block face requireme� of the ordina�ce. The petition spans approximately 7,500 2inear faet and 11 hlock faces. Each block has at least 60 % of the property awners that have signed the petitiott and overal2 approximately 73% ofthe owners in the area designated have signed the petition The required filing fee is also attached. I haue agreed to take on the role of petitioner as required by the ordinance. I can be reached at the address and phone numbers noted above. As you might eacpect, the neighbors are quite eager to implement the pemut pazking provisions as soon as possible. We would appreciate being provided a timeline far campleting the analysis of the parldng study that has already been undertaken by your Department and holding the public hearing with the City Councii.
