Traffic Operations • Municipal Staff Services • Traffic Safety • Traffic Calming • Parking • Transit Canal Neighborhood Parking Study Project Understanding The Canal Area presents substantial challenges in terms of its parking supply. The residential neighborhood hosts apartments with relatively low rents, some of which are shared by multiple unrelated adults, affordable condominiums, townhomes with a price near mid-range for the area, and single family homes with docks and deep water access. While some of the residences have adequate off-street parking in the form of garages or reserved parking spaces, most of the apartment dwellers have only one dedicated space to serve the two or more vehicles associated with the tenants. Similarly, owners of the condominiums and townhomes use their garages for storage or even living space, thereby increasing use of street parking. The parking needs are further exacerbated by the commercial uses, including automobile repair, market, fast food, and gas stations, that ring the area and also require use of street parking. Finally, while outside the study area, the Marin Health & Wellness Campus at the corner of Kerner Boulevard and Bellam Boulevard may result in some demand for on -street parking during peak periods. In approaching this project it will be important to identify specific locations where parking is fully used, indicating a need for additional supply. Previous work has indicated that the most intense need for parking is in the core of the area where there is the highest concentration of apartment buildings and commercial uses, but the parking study should be broken down into smaller, more discreet areas so that the source of the demand can be more easily identified. Once the demand has been mapped, consideration should be given to ideas previously reviewed and evaluated by City staff as well as "twists" on these ideas together with new ideas developed by the consulting team. It appears that traditional solutions may not be palatable to staff, local residents, and/or policymakers, so thinking that is"outside the box"will be critical to reaching workable solutions. T Canal Neighborhood Parking Study Project Approach Task 1: Project Management and Coordination 1.1 The project manager will attend up to four coordination meetings with City staff in San Rafael. Other members of the consultant team may join in person or participate via telephone or video conferencing. These meetings will be included on the schedule to coincide with decision points in the process. 1.2 A project schedule will be prepared using Microsoft Project (or similar format) and provided for review and comment at the kick-off meeting. The schedule will be updated as necessary to reflect any changes to the timeline as discussed with and approved by City staff. Deliverables: Agendas and Meeting Notes for all coordination meetings; Project Schedule and updates Task 2: Preliminary Studies and Research 2.1 The study area for the parking occupancy counts will be broken down into small sub -areas, such as was done by staff for the prior data collection effort, and a map provided for staff approval prior to initiating data collection. 2.2 Data will be collected for each sub -area between 8:00 p.m. and midnight on two weekdays and 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on one Saturday on a cycle that allows observation of each segment at least once hourly. 2.3 The Project Manager will perform observations during one of the occupancy survey periods to gain familiarity with the area and the findings. 2.4 The parking occupancy data will be tabulated to determine the peak occupancy for each area individually as well as for the study area as a whole. 2.5 From the data as well as site observations recommendations will be developed for potential measures to both increase parking capacity and reduce parking demand and alleviate existing parking shortages. These preliminary measures will be discussed with staff prior to preparing a written report. 2.6 A draft parking study detailing the data collected, observations, findings and recommendations, including graphic presentations of recommendations where appropriate, will be prepared and provided to City staff for review and comment. The report will also include an analysis of the benefits and negative impacts of each alternative together with the cost for each (eight projects and costs estimates are assumed). The alternatives will be presented in a matrix, with each option ranked and preferred option(s) indicated. 2.7 The initial draft will be presented to City staff at a meeting with staff only for review and comments. 2.8 Comments from staff will be addressed and a public review document prepared. 2.9 The Project Manager will prepare for and make a presentation to City Council at a public hearing regarding the process and outcomes. 2.10 Input from the public hearing will be incorporated as appropriate and a final parking study produced. Deliverables: Preliminary draft parking study, Public Review draft parking study, PowerPoint presentation and supporting exhibits, Final parking study Canal Neighborhood Parking Study T Project Schedule 2.1-3 Conduct Parking Occupancy Counts & Field Observations 2.4 Analyze Data 2.5.

Parking Study Reports 2.7-10 Present Report to Initial Group and City Council mmm Statement of Qualifications Related Experience Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento Parking Study - City of South Sacramento W -Trans conducted a comprehensive parking survey in 2014 of the Kaiser Permanente campus in South Sacramento. Key issues included surveying and developing parking management strategies for patients, staff, visitors and deliveries. The parking lots and garage were individually surveyed to establish peak usage patterns throughout the week. Based on staff shifts, visiting hours, outpatient scheduling, peak parking demand hours, and building access locations, W Trans made recommendations on how to manage the parking resources in a more efficient manner. Contact: Yvonne Hobbs, Support Services Administrator, (916) 688-6821 yvone.hobbs@kp.org San Bruno CalTrain Area Parking Study - City of San Bruno W -Trans conducted before and after parking surveys of the CalTrain area in San Bruno in response to concerns about potential on -street parking impacts associated with the relocation of the CalTrain station. Working in collaboration with City staff, a study was defined surrounding the former and current CalTrain station areas so that on -street parking levels could be measured. A report was prepared and presented to the City's traffic Safety and Parking Committee, with recommendations for future monitoring and parking management strategies if warranted. Contact: Klara Fabry, Public Service Director, (650) 616-7067, KFabry@sanbruno.ca.gov Santero Way Traffic and Parking Study - City of Cotati The traffic impacts and parking needs of a proposed apartment project were evaluat-ed in the context of a mixed use specific plan area near the SMART rail line. While the plan contained lower parking requirements due to the mixed use nature and transit access, the interim condition with only housing resulted in demand that was not consistent with the assumptions in that Plan. Parking occupancy counts were performed to determine demand rates associated with existing apartment dwellers versus the remainder of the housing stock. The analysis T Canal Neighborhood Parking Study supported the proposed parking supply, which substantially exceeded the minimum required, as being sufficient not only to meet new demands but to offset existing over -capacity conditions. Contact: Vicki Parker, Community Development Director, (707) 665-3637, vparker@ci.cotati.ca.us Spinster Inn Trip Generation & Parking Study - City of Santa Rosa To support an application to expand a small existing restaurant to include hotel rooms and a small retail space without adding on-site parking, W -Trans performed a parking occupancy survey to determine current demand and potential available supply for a two -block area surrounding the project site. Counts were performed at various times of day on both weekdays and weekend days to ensure that worst-case conditions were captured. Contact: Patrick Streeter, Senior Planner, (707) 543-4323, PStreeter@srcity.org Vineyard Creek Hotel Expansion - City of Santa Rosa The potential impacts on traffic operation associated with adding 100 rooms to an existing 155 -room hotel were evaluated for the weekday peak hours. Similarly, pedestrian, bicycle and transit access were all evaluated to ensure that upon completion of currently planned facilities as well as those proposed as part of the project, site access would be adequate. The adequacy of parking was evaluated within the framework of the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan as well as more detailed shared parking demand concepts based on the sizes and mix of components at the site. The analysis provided support for the City to reduce the parking required on-site and retain a currently undeveloped area for a future building pad in lieu of creating additional parking. Contact: Patrick Streeter, Senior Planner, (707) 543-4323, PStreeter@srcity.org In addition to the projects listed above, Mark Spencer also completed the following parking projects while working at another firm. Downtown Morgan Hill Parking Resources Management Plan - City of Morgan Hill The Plan's goal is to increase efficiency of available City parking resources and to create a strategy to finance and phase in additional parking over the next twenty years in response to anticipated growth. Key elements of the plan included parking inventory and demand analysis, surveys and outreach to business owners and resident stakeholders, phasing of development and parking needs, integration with the Downtown Plan, and tiered recommendation strategies. Mr. Spencer managed this project and made several presentations to the community and elected officials. Downtown Salinas Parking Plan - City of Salinas The Salinas Parking Plan was designed to implement paid parking as a strategy to manage parking behavior in the downtown core. The City has experienced a boom in development with a new cinema and museum, and recently added a garage. Among the Plan's key issues are debt service analysis, revenue forecasting, and parking allocation of publicly available spaces for visitors, employees and merchants. The downtown core was analyzed as a series of zones, and a detailed sensitivity analysis of parking location vs. pricing was prepared to assist decision makers with choices regarding fee structure, enforcement requirements, and other related items. Various technology options were considered as part of the plan, including pay stations and automated enforcement. Mr. Spencer managed this project, met with local merchants to ascertain their concerns, prepared the report and made several presentations to the stakeholders. Santa Clara University Areawide Parking Study - City of Santa Clara This study evaluated neighborhood parking as well as on campus parking in order to assess the effects of increasing off -campus housing densities on parking. Recommendations included a residential permit parking program, changes in enforcement levels and timing, and other parking management strategies. Mr. Spencer managed this project and made presentations to the community and City Council.
