RESIDENT PERMIT PARKING RECOMMENDATIONS Traffic & Parking Commission Meeting October 18, 2023 ---PAGE BREAK--- RESIDENT PERMIT PARKING EVALUATION The following slides provide an overview of the Resident Permit Parking program by Zone. When the program was first adopted by City Council, in the 1990s, the zones were based on the Ward boundaries at that time. Since then, Wards have been redistricted and boundaries changed. The evaluation has helped staff develop recommendations which focuses on redistricting zones to better reflect geographic areas and intuitive boundaries as well as propose certain streets be removed from the program based on resident participation and other factors. ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- RECOMMENDED STREETS FOR REMOVAL The majority of the streets identified in the following slides have 20% or less of the dwelling units purchasing permits. In addition to looking at participation in the program, we identified the following: • Existence of off-street parking (driveways) • Estimated the total number of on-street spaces • Citations issued over the last four years • Parking utilization using Nearmap (11 aerial views over the last 3 years) ---PAGE BREAK--- RECOMMENDED STREETS FOR REMOVAL • ASH STREET • BUCHANAN ROAD • CLEVELAND ROAD • CLEVELAND ROAD EXTENSION • FAIRVIEW AVENUE • FAIRVIEW ROAD • FRANKLIN STREET • FRIEND STREET • HANSON STREET • HARRISON ROAD • HAYES ROAD • LAFAYETTE STREET • LINCOLN ROAD • MCKINLEY ROAD • MOFFATT ROAD • MONROE ROAD • OAK STREET • ORD STREET • PARADISE AVENUE • PICKMAN ROAD • PIERCE AVENUE • PIERCE ROAD • PRESTON ROAD • PUTNAM STREET • RIVERWAY ROAD • ROSEDALE AVENUE • STATION ROAD • STORY ROAD • TAFT ROAD • THORNDIKE STREET • WAITE STREET • WILFRED TERRACE ---PAGE BREAK--- SOUTH SALEM RESIDENT PARKING ---PAGE BREAK--- SOUTH SALEM PARKING UTILIZATION ---PAGE BREAK--- SOUTH SALEM (CONT.)

The first slide provides a bullet list describing the changes followed by two side by side maps comparing existing conditions to proposed. The goal is not to establish zones which cover the entire city but focus on areas where clusters of currently designated streets exist and create opportunities to establish new areas based on feedback the Department has received from Councilors and the public over the last few years. Major arterials and commercial corridors (e.g. Lafayette, Canal, Bridge) are intended to be excluded. ---PAGE BREAK--- • Zone A (mainly based on Ward 1) is split between the Derby neighborhood, the Willows and the Point. Derby remains Zone A, the Willows becomes new Zone B and the Point becomes part of a new Zone F. • Current Zone B is removed, except for Raymond Road, which is moved into Zone E. • Current Zone E is split into 2 zones. The SSU area remains Zone E. The remainder of Zone E would be combined with the Point neighborhood to become the new Zone F. Currently the only designated street in the new Zone F is Ropes Street. • Current Zone F is removed, except for Foster St, which is moved into Zone H. • Zone H is a new zone that acts as a catch all zone. This would include Foster St, a portion of Cleveland St across from St. Anne Parish and a portion of Heritage Dr across from the Hospital. • Zone C is split into 2 Zones. The Federal Street area remains Zone C. The Common neighborhood and Bridge St. Neck would make up Zone G. • Zone D, based on portions of Ward 2 and 3, would be better defined based on current designated residential streets with Essex as the northern/western boundary (but Essex would stay part of Zone Jackson as the southern boundary; and Margin/Jefferson as the eastern boundary. ---PAGE BREAK---
