Dear Board Members:
The Traffic Division would like to make the following recommendations.
We are recommending that the following areas be reduced from Two Hour
Parking to One Hour Parking:
1 . First Block of South 3rd Street.
2. Tenth Street between North "A" Street and South "A" Street.
3. One Thousand Block of East Main Street.
4. Eleven Hundred Block of East Main Street.
5. Seven Hundred Block of North "A" Street.
6. Eight Hundred Block of North "A" Street.
7. One Thousand Block of North "A" Street.
The Traffic Division would also like to recommend that Eleventh Street
between North "A" Street and South "A" Street be reduced from Four
Hour Parking to One Hour Parking.
The Traffic Division feels that ample off street parking is available .
in the above mentioned areas, such as, the Municpal Parking Lot located
in the First Block of North 10th Street which offeres two hour free
parking, the Municipal Parking lot located in the 100 Block of South
9th and 10th Street offering unrestricted parking, and the Municipal
Parking Lot located in the 100 Block of North 6th and 7th Street offer-
ing unrestricted parking. The Traffic Division feels that the proposed
One Hour Parking on South Third Street is sufficient for people to
conduct business in the County Court House.
The Traffic Division feels with approval of the above mentioned re-
commendations a desired turnover rate in on street parking will be
reached. Furthermore, the entire downtown core area shall be uniform
as to its on street parking restriction, that being One Hour Parking.
This will effect 149 Parking Spaces.
Sincerely,
/s/ Lewis E. Doren
Chief of Police
/s/ Scott Loper
