34 morning and afternoon and also on June 5, 1985 and June 7, 1985. He told
35 the Board there are twelve (12) dwellings in the block with six (6) being
36 multi-family and one (1) business. The survey showed there was a range of
37 twelve (12) to eighteen (18) cars parked in this block averaging from three
38 (3) to seven (7) being residents and seven (7) to fourteen (14) being non-residents.
39 He stated that at least five (5) to seven (7) non-resident cars park in this
40 area on an all day basis. Captain Wogoman told the Board that this fits in
41 with the parking problems in the overall downtown area and some, of the problems
42 of making this a two-hour parking area is where will the cars move to and
43 also the enforcement of the time restriction.

45 Ms. Silberstein requested a copy of the survey for the recommendation of the
46 Board of Works to the Common Council for the Residential Parking Designation
47 request in the 100 Block of South 6th Street.

51 Captain Wogoman told the Board that he had surveyed the parking in the downtown
52 area from North B Street to South B Street from 3rd Street to 12th Street
53 in all areas where on street parking is available all available spaces are
54 being used. The only non-residential areas are South 8th and 10th and North
55 8th and 9th Streets, the rest of the area is approximately 98% residential.
56 Captain Wogoman commented that many of the City Parking lots are not being
57 used, but the people are taking the free parking available on the streets.
58 He also told the Board that making these area a two hour time limit to allow
59 the residents to take advantage of the residential parking designation would
60 be costly with new signs and enforeement. He also admitted that probably
61 the persons parking on the streets are employees of the downtown area.
62
63 PAL,. Silberstein stated that to further study the situation the Board needs
64 a good map of the areas involved and also need statistics and revenues
65 from the various parking lots owned by the City.
