Parking

Notes from Combined Meeting of Parking Subcommittee and Public Space Subcommittee

Here are some brief notes from our meeting on March 10 for your review. George

    1. Consider plaza space at Shattuck/Vine corner and possibly one other similar space.

    2. Widen sidewalk in front of small businesses North of Vine. Dimension to be determined.

    3. Do not provide a public toilet.

    4. Provide ample green space/trees.

    5. Consider a landscape feature to "announce" the "plaza".

    6. Maintain existing parking count but preferably increase.

    7. Provide sidewalk bulbs at street corners.

    8. Keep as much parking as possible close to small businesses.

    9. Share unloading and parking spaces where feasible, especially at Longs unloading area. (e.g. unloading till a certain time, then parking.)

    10. Space to the North to be primarily for parking. Share with Farmers’ Market and special functions such as outdoor fairs.

    11. Maintain thru traffic on Shattuck for fire trucks.

    12. Consider Shattuck becoming single-lane North of Vine.

    13. Scope of initial development should be modest with room to change over time as needs and desires change. Future development could include multi-level parking. Also at Longs.
