Safety vehicles have a difficult time going down Higuera street when delivery trucks are parked in the streets. The restaurants that have sitting areas outside their restaurant is a distraction and the majority are a mess and not kept clean. It’s time for the out door seating to go.
STOP reducing traffic lanes and removing street parking. The new additional “bike” lane is a waste of time and money. Reducing lines causes congestion and frustration. Additions like that makes me avoid DT area when at all possible
It would be nice if there were more options for residential parking too. Perhaps another garage that offers monthly and overnight parking.
This is also a tourist town. Encouraging biking is great but don’t punish tourists who come through on travels and need to drive by car. I am filling this out from my home in Paso Robles , and you also have a lot of visitors in the central coast area where biking or walking is not feasible.
If downtown spaces are limited, could you consider some land that you can use as parking lot and have people park there, have shuttles service from the parking to downtown. it will be beneficial for some elder people who need car and also reduce congestion in downtown Y’all need a better price for downtown employees. Making min wage working downtown having to park 5 days a week. I’m using 1/4 of my income for PARKING. I’m helping. Bring people to spend money dt but you guys don’t recognize that. You walk 7 blocks in the dead of night to park your car for free with all the homeless around. It’s not safe. Make a proxi for dt employees 3 month pass for 100$ would be more than fair.
Parking is hard to find and getting to be too expensive.
The bike lane on Marsh is rarely used.
Increasing parking prices in garages really penalizes locals and prevents us from ever going downtown. I will do almost anything I can to avoid ever going downtown anymore, which is sad. It's also inconvenient, as some of my healthcare practitioners are downtown. This means when I consider accessing my practitioners, I have to add on the constant price of parking plus the worth of my time it takes to walk from a garage, as I'm taking time out of my work day. It's all adding up to a huge mess that just can't be worked out. I've had to stop accessing healthcare at times even when I desperately needed it because I couldn't afford the parking and also the time it would take out of my work day to park and walk from a garage. All of this isn't fair to locals. I grew up in SLO and in so many ways I've been priced out of having a quality life here. Now parking is an additional way I feel this discomfort. I need safe parking garages with very affordable rates that I can always go to and know there will be open spots no matter what time of day or night. I don't mind walking a bit to get to my destination from garages as long as it's safe, which our garages don't feel anymore. Increasing our parking prices to pay for another garage you're going to charge us unffordable rates for isn't fair, and only leads to non-locals being the only people you'll ever see downtown. Only tourists should be charged high rates that are used to build additional parking. I think that the ParkMobile parking app should have information about where we are registered to live, and if that's within SLO City limits we should get a really low rate or even free. The ParkMobile app should also be able to connect to the garages and also give us cheaper rates.
The city of slo seems to hate locals and it is damaging the community and businesses. Stop the meter maids. Lower or eliminate parking fees. More foot traffic and acces to businesses will help.
SLO is on its way to be SF and other big cities.
Lower the cost of parking!!!!
Working successfully DT for 30 years (until now) and watching how much has changed .. for the worse. The lack of signage for parking. People come in asking off the street what to do about parking OR they have no idea they even have to pay. The quiosk rarely works. The elderly don’t know how to use the app let alone the quiosk. No one keeps coins on them for parking over 2 hours. If we are trying to get people to enjoy and use DT, nothing is easy and they don’t like coming DT anymore…especially after receiving many parking tickets. When people come to get their hair done, eat lunch, and go shopping, and have easy access to parking , it’s nearly impossible to not get a parking ticket. It’s truly a shit show that has affected not only my business , but obviously (with many businesses closing ) its affected others as well. We had a very successful business DT for 18 years. Parking, hoodlums, crime has pushed us out unfortunately.
Make it easier to pick up food orders. Woodstock has a couple spots- that's so helpful! Put a spot near habit, & another near finneys, etc
As an able bodied person, when I do drive downtown I am never frustrated with finding parking - there is always something within a few blocks (at most ) of where I am going. I imagine it might be more difficult for people who are challenged with walking from their car to their destination.
The cost of parking is so high, the machines don’t work half the time, 2 hour time limits are too short. The signage for the one ways need to be highlighted more, I see people trying to turn the wrong way on a one way all the time. There aren’t enough on the street parking spots because of the bike lanes and restaurant spaces
Sadly some of the parking spots used now for street tables are dangerous for cyclists. Chorro street is the main way into town for us and biking in front of the mission area is tight on bikes. Also, buses are crazy inefficient with routes and times for working people and the middle school kids.
But They seem good for CP students—at least when I was one. I’d prioritize main bike routes into downtown especially from college neighborhoods bc more college kids ride than older lazy locals.
The ability to leave after 9pm and not pay for parking garage lots increases my frequency of visitation. I would love to walk more if I could afford a home closer to downtown.
As a former downtown employee who struggled with parking and frequently paid to park. I do not think the solution is not additional parking but additional modes. Rail is a necessity and had been proven the world over to work in all population levels and environments. The bus system also does not have the timeliness or frequency to be viable for commuters. It needs to be improved.
As a resident that is sometimes running from work to errands to home, I’ve always appreciated that there was first hour free parking in the structures, allowing a quick drop in. The charging for any and all time parked downtown unfortunately doesn’t just deter me from driving a car, it deters me from coming downtown at all. I do appreciate moving parking off the streets in downtown core with exception for short term use and disability access, but please consider residents quick and free access to structures for short visits, as we already pay taxes to support the infrastructure, at least for downtown.
I forgot my wallet one day and could not park downtown without worrying about a ticket, so I simply left. SLO should have SOME free parking!
Parking downtown is seen as a barrier to locals and businesses downtown suffer. There is no consistency in how you pay (some are card only, some are coin only, some are app friendly). Those
locals that live outside the downtown area or have kids are unlikely to benefit from more bike options. We need to know we can find parking where we need it, when we need it, and have spots big enough for modern cars (many lot spots are outdated and small). Help the local families access downtown easily and you may see more of us. Sunday free parking was a great incentive that went away. The higher you raise metered prices, the less locals you bring downtown. How about parking discounts for locals? Or special lots we can access. The truth is that locals go elsewhere because parking downtown has become too much of a pain.
Increasing overall accessibility across SLO through public transit is ideal. Including access from other communities in north and south county to access downtown where many people work.
Pleas get rid of coin meters and install digital meters Do not build (or reduce height)parking garage at Palm and Nipomo Please update all parking metersnto accept card or payment app. I try to park a few blocks away from the main downtown area, but do not typically have change for the meters.
Not everyone falls into disabled or healthy bIke rider categories. Some of us are just older and less mobile. Please remember us. When the focus is so much on bike access and ADA accommodation we get closed out of the downtown area.
These new bike lanes are taking away valuable parking for clients/customers If you make parking so expenseive that it costs more to park than it does to dine out or enjoy downtown shopping and entertainment, I will drive to Morro Bay where parking is free and the dining and shopping is equally as good.
Parking is not difficult in town. But having two lanes of traffic on Higuera & Marsh that limits the enjoyment of walking/ dining/ shopping is.
I actually think there is a good balance of parking and other amenities. It strikes a good balance.
People who complain about lack of parking are those already glued to their cars. Compared to so many other cities of our size, SLO downtown is fantastic. I have always found parking even if I have to walk 2-4 blocks more. It’s just an opportunity to check out more shops! My family and I bike downtown, and often have trouble locating bike parking for 4 bikes.
Most businesses that have parking lots near downtown don’t use them after hours or on weekends. Public isn’t allowed to park. Incentivize those businesses. Parking signage, curb colors, the overall communication is horrible. Make some standard signs that explain it better. Get rid of all coin meters ASAP. Nobody has coins anymore.
Since parklets were put in the traffic has been pushed outside of the downtown area. Traffic signels have been changed to make it harder to get around without stops and starts-bad for the climate. U turns are awful-lots of them.
My car has a car top carrier and does not fit in the parking structures. I have a broken foot and have had a difficult time finding handicap parking close to downtown destinations.
New bike lanes are not helpful. Hard to turn onto the street with cars parked on other side of bike lane. Very dangerous can’t see cars driving on the road past the parked cars.
SLO is currently a leader in California toward creating a pleasant and safe town center. This should be a priority for the future, and for all parts of the city. I encourage SLO to follow the leads of other cities further along this path, including Portland, Tucson, Washington DC, New York, Victoria, and Vancouver BC, to name a few.
The inconsistency in fee enforcement at the City parking garages is maddening. I've been stuck in one garage with traffic backed up to the roof while watching the garage half a block away let customers out for free. The new parking garage ticketing system is confusing, frustrating, frequently broken, and provides a poor customer experience and level of service.
Encourage employers to provide incentives or subsidies to people to use alternative transportation and to offset the cost of parking for those for whom biking/walking is not an option. A lot of people do not like working downtown because of the exorbitant parking fees. It seems like the downtown parking strategy is designed to capture revenue from visitors and to cater to those who live nearby, but not to people who live farther away and need to commute to work downtown. Also - please remember that some parking needs to be made available near businesses - think of the elderly or people with infants/children in car seats. Not everyone can walk/bike far distances to reach a downtown destination.
Safety for bicyclists and pedestrians around parking garages must be improved. Motorists often block sidewalks and enter/exit without looking for bicyclists and pedestrians or drive aggressively so they don't have to wait for them to safely pass.
The Marsh St. "Bike Lane" is a spot-on example of social engineering gone wrong. Now a motorist is forced to park out board of bike lane and step out into to increased density traffic, then walk across the bike lane to sidewalk and risk getting center punched by a cyclist in high gear. It is difficult to believe this "planning" is not part of a bad practical joke. Perhaps these "planners" could take a day off and muck out the toxic sludge and trash in the Chinese Memorial fountain at the corner of Marsh and Santa Rosa.
Stop ticketing until 9pm. Go back to 6pm.
I own my business and the real estate, if we don't create more easily accessible parking people will stop coming to my business. Look at downtown, it's half vacant. You can't shop and get your hair done on a bike.
Really important to increase frequency of in town transit and protected bike lanes. Most of my trips downtown are for short duration to/from somewhere else via car. Would like pay to park options in 10 or 15 min increments on the apps.
It is dangerous to walk in downtown SLO due to distracted drivers not paying attention to people in the crosswalk, or people making right turns on a red light. We also need to have an illuminated crosswalk at beach st. and marsh st. We need to build more workforce housing in the downtown core. I can barely afford to live here. Many others who work downtown are struggling, too. Please build affordable housing instead of new parking garages. And make this housing for people who work here - not just investors and students.
Incentive program for local visitors, like 3hrs/mo free parking. I’ve seen a HUGE drop off in local clientele at my business since all the parking infrastructure changes. Locals don’t want to bother with it & tickets are too expensive to chance a trip.
It would be great to see higuera shut down to motor vehicle traffic, it would be an amazing public area and would encourage folks to spend more time and money downtown. Maintaining access for disabled folks and deliveries would be important but not tremendously difficult. cheap, abundant parking and effective climate action are mutually exclusive Reduce the number of bike lanes and give more priority to cars. Despite having so many bike lanes, people are simply not using them and the hope of more people using them is futile. Do periodic surveys to determine usage of bike lanes and eliminating those that are not being used. Bikes have too many privileges and convincing most non-bike riders, especially elderly or middle aged people, or busy people in general to go get a bike is a fantasy.
Make some streets downtown permanently car free
Give employees hourly breaks in lots and garages.
Parking first.... No other changes should be made until the parking is available. The newest is years away. a additional parking structure should be purchased/funded and completed now not later. look at the loss of business/retailers.
My main thought is that employees should have priority parking spots without having to pay for parking. The shops downtown can’t cater to customers if employees aren’t able to work due to lack of parking.
please for the love of god do not let prices for the structure go back up, the majority of folx who use it are for a short time (uner 2 hrs) or are folx who work in downtown., IT IS UNREASONABLE FOR ME TO PAY AN HOURS WORTH OF WORK AS A PARKING FEE!
Parking options for downtown employees is a huge issue. Workers in restaurants and bars are forced to park bocks away from the downtown core on Ill-lit streets late at night, often carrying significant amounts of cash. We need to do better by our downtown workers Loading zones are the Blockbuster of DT Parking..... Meaning they are DEAD. I NEVER see any trucks using them. Why do we have loading zones if trucks can just unload in the street???? Please coinsider removing ALL Loading Zones and adding parking for Cars/Bikes and/or seating for dining.
We need to help DT Busnisses and the Resturants are 100% the most import part. With out the Resturants people will only go DT to buy things and not truly support our DT with muilpils spots/visits.
So much of the parking was already given away to the parklets. With all the new development there is less parking and more loading. No one has considered how this is affecting other small businesses DT that rely on quick easy access for their livelihood. I have to walk multiple blocks to get free parking (small business don't have the funds to pay large parking fees) while carrying my work bag, pump bag (breastfeeding) and lunch. When I was pregnant and suffering from hyperemisis and couldn't walk that far I got tickets regularly because I had to park close to my office. I work with trauma clients so I cant alwaysget back at exactly 2 hrs. The burden the lack of parking puts on people with disabilities, pregnancies, or small children is unfair.
I own a business downtown and many of my clients appointments run just over 2 hours. By not allowing people to add time on their meters past 2 hours, it is hurting my business. People should be able to add time after 2 hours.
Encourage downtown office building owners to actively manage their parking spaces and make them available for lease or short term use when not required by tenants.
You all are screwing up down town. Parking is much too expensive. This isn’t San Francisco or Los Angeles. Your parking enforcement lacks any compassion and is way too aggressive. I own a business down town and am totally against and more businesses adding unflattering extra seating and taking up more parking. We need parking for businesses to thrive.
It seems that downtown is now solely for the tourist, not the residents. The residents are being pushed to the services provided by expansion outside of downtown. It’s pretty sad honestly.
My retail customers drive to and park downtown. If it’s a hassle, they don’t come downtown. Bike riders typically don’t shop (with me). They pass through town, don’t spend money in it, NA
We are eliminating parking in favor of overdevelopment and high rise apartments and mixed use, both of which bring more people, more cars, and less parking.
Meters are very confusing with addition to parking apps. Always unsure of when to pay not pay, needs more consistent use all downtown. Our friends in north county are too imtimidate to park downtown now.
My main concern is safety; I park in the garages (marsh & palm) often and I just don't feel safe.
Would love to see more precautions and safety measures; something perhaps like 'safe ride/walk' as they often have on college campuses. Also, the parking meter/pay station situation is really confusing and not very well signed. I've got the Honk app, which took a bit to get set up but is now fairly easy, but I never know what to use as the required 'zone' .
Cost of parking is too high and citations are over enforced. It creates a negative atmosphere and makes consumers not want to come downtown. We are wasting resources on the number of employees solely focused on ticketing.
The bike lanes have taken over SLO and now all the marking removed on Marsh. Many of us are at an age that we cannot bike or walk to a destination. No one cares. Bike lanes are not used by many cyclist like Morro st.
I notice metered parking hours have been extended and parking fees are rising, yet Sunday mornings are still not charged. It would seem that all downtown activities should bear the same metered parking burden.
lOUSY SURVEY, CREATED TO BOLSTER THE OPINIONS OF CITY STAFF Rather than identify citizen need Self serving and political survey to be used to inflict ideological opinions and views on citizens. rather than actually gather citizen needs and preferences.
I think our downtown is already quite bike and walk friendly. I don't think investing more into this will increase the number of people who will ride their bikes. Many people prefer to drive and no matter how many changes you make they will still prefer or need to drive. Parking has been a major issue in San Luis for a long time and all the changes I see happening have taken away parking spots. There're so many new painted curbs for various reasons and parklets that many parking spots have been eliminated. I would support investing in more public parking lots. Also please get all meters to take credit cards. The old fashioned coin meters waste precious parking space.
Create another parking garage and turn Higuera and Monterey into pedestrian streets. Make Marsh two way. Encourage more traffic on palm. Youngsters and nearby residents should be further encouraged to walk and bike.
Parking is too expensive on the streets downtown. All other cities in SLO Co. provide free parking ! I pay high property taxes in SLO. Why can't parking be free, or at least low-cost ? the current situation discourages me from wanting to go downtown: expensive parking, lack of parking, adversarial law enforcement.
The paid parking machines are SO much less customer friendly than parking meters. We hate the machines. Hard to find, time consuming to use, you are making more money because with a meter we could use spaces with time left. You are double dipping now. Hate hate hate these machines. I want to come downtown even less often than before. I have a disability (not handicapped sticker applicable) and now I have to go find a machine that takes me even further from my destination. It is really really hard.
I understand the pandemic related need for curbside dining but now that we appear to be "over the hump" this concept needs to be seriously reconsidered for several reasons. Streets in SLO were narrow enough pre-curbside dining, now they are nearly impossible to navigate. In addition, many of the curbside venues inhibit sidewalk mobility as well as being unsightly.
The Parking Permit District program needs to be revamped. The public right of way should not be off limits to the public the majority of the day. I think it should be abolished. At minimum, there should be an allowance for 1 or 2 hour parking unless you have a permit. it is more expensive to park in Downtown SLO than many other cities and towns. Not just small towns but in larger cities like San Francisco.
new system is trash
Please provide residential guest parking. Please make palm street between broad and nipomo easier for residents and their guest to park on. Just like you did in its surroundings street. Provide a separate place for mission prep students to park, rather than the street of palm. It’s VERY VERY inconvenient for the residents forced to street park.
Parking rate increases should be a last resort. Raising street parking rates and garage parking rates as recently approved by the Council will result in fewer people shopping downtown Bike share program is desperately needed In the entire city. Hubs could be placed at convenient locations throughout the city, extending to the edges of town like campus, Madonna Rd, Vons shopping center, etc. Electric bike share program in conjunction with improved bike lanes would dramatically relieve parking pressure downtown. Many students and young adults drive downtown today, because they don’t have another transportation modality or they don’t feel safe cycling in unprotected bike lanes.
Parking fee should stop at 6
I lived on Dana St for 8+ years and just recently moved by the airport. We bike downtown all the time now and it’s so easy. I think the hardest part was the right bike. I really think a bike share program would do well here and might lessen the hurdle of purchasing a bike for some. I also really dislike the idea of adding another parking garage on Nipomo & Monterey/Palm. It seems like the city is moving away from a car dominated downtown and adding a massive concrete structure
would be such a bummer. That space has so much potential and that part of town is so quiet and special. I’ll also mention too that I’ve lived here for 15 years and I really don’t think parking is an issue. I’ve not once had an issue finding a space exactly where I needed to pick something up or park for a few hours to run errands. So maybe as the survey suggests that signage could be improved to help people find a spot. I appreciate your hard work and consideration of everyone’s comments! This is truly the best place to live because of the work you I all do to make it special :) thank you!!!
Take away parklets that aren’t used often.
De-emphasize all the provisions for bicycles; LOOK AT ALL THE BIKE LANES: HARDLY ANY BIKES USE THEM! One has to be blind or in denial to not notice this! Not many people can bike everywhere all the time. Please consider this.
The protected bike lanes is the worst. The Lanes are now on a slant and got rid of lots of parking spots
Get rid of the parklets on Higuera. No one wants to eat in the gutter anymore. Shift back to precovid set up. It makes things SO tight.
Please redo your signage. It’s hidden and in random places. Some blocks have the kiosk far away and it is not intuitive.
ban cars in downtown. open at least 5 24/7 accessible public restrooms.
My main concern with parking out of the downtown area and walking in to work or shop is my safety. I have been accosted once by a homeless person and I definitely have fear of walking to and from my car especially in the winter time when it’s dark. 1) the biggest pain is having to pay & find parking when literally running in to grab something (5min or less) would be nice to have few free spots for this wish push-button meters- like they have in the post office lot 2) the green “left turn” bike box located in the middle of an intersection is both unsafe and confusing for cyclists and drivers alike. I would like them removed 3) With the acception of ADA parking and very short term parking on-street, I would suggest pushing all parking to structures on on the periphery of downtown. Increase walking/biking access Too many bike lanes and green paint
The recent increase in parking costs and elimination of one hour free parking is terrible.
ALL meters need to be updated to take credit card. Also, bring back free parking after 6 pm, to stimulate people to go to dinner downtown
Pedestrian safety is a real issue. Drivers no longer understand the law of letting a pedestrian cross and get to the curb and there is no real perspective for the safety of the person walking.
The way it is designed now is not helping downtown business - it discourages me from going downtown
There is obviously an agenda here. These questions were written to elicit a certain response. I am already having a hard time getting clients in, so I have to drive to them. You have made the downtown unappealing to locals, unless they are unhoused.
Change free parking back to 6pm
Provide more free parking areas that have time limits for locals to be able to enjoy downtown poor implementation of the "paid parking until 9pm" rule. 6pm made so much more sense! Metered parking went BACKWARDS. Clumsy paid parking system and extended hours? 6pm was perfect. Should be in the 21st century and utilized an app system that allows you to extend time if needed. Whoever made the parking payment decision wasted our tax dollars. Silly clumsy solution.
I believe the parking garage off Nipomo st will be wonderful. Push cars to parking garages and utilize street areas for bikes/outdoor eating and street parking sprinkled in. But with an APP and stop charging after 6pm. Support our local restaurants - you are only making it more cumbersome/annoying for people to grab a quick to-go meal or stop in.
Paid parking should go back to ending at 6PM. The new 9PM cutoff is extremely inconvenient.
Moving the end of paid parking from 6pm to 9pm was a terrible move. Everyone hates it. Even worse, lots of the meters weren't set up to be paid via app, so you had to leave in the middle of dinner to go feed the meter. In my humble opinion, that was a REALLY bad move, and not rolled out well at all. It has permanently changed my opinion of going to downtown SLO to shop/eat in the evenings; I'm much less likely to go there now.
Make parking free all over downtown/get rid of permitted parking neighborhoods. Makes it super inaccessible for low-income folks when parking costs money.
So many incredible city centers are car free, save ADA access, deliveries, and emergency access, and it is loved by the people in the community. We eliminate parking on Higuera EVERY Thursday when we shut the street down for farmers market. It creates an incredible pedestrian experience that people travel to our town to have. Let's make that experience a permanent part of the San Luis experience and make downtown a place for the people of SLO, NOT for their cars.
Why is there no damn grocery store downtown? The lack of people and practical uses for commercial downtown is why it is dying. Safety is also a major issue.
I would love to have one more parking garage closer to south higuera to have another parking option for businesses/restaurants I visit in that area. I do not own a bike and would not bike since I live down South Higuera where it's busy with cars. I would however consider a public transit option if I knew it was easy and cheap
If you need to build the new Palm/Nipomo parking structure, fine, but close downtown Monterey and Higuera to parking and motor vehicle traffic during business hours! De-center cars and drivers within the City of San Luis Obispo.
Loading zones are overrated and misunderstood, commercial deliveries, fedX and UPS park where convenient with out regard for loading zones. spend an early morning downtown and see for yourself. the yellow zones should be converted to paid parking spaces. Delivery trucks will park wherever convenient and not in a yellow zone.
Parking districts around the Cal Poly area should have consistent parking hours with weekends open for parking or 2 hour parking limits. More 2 hour parking limit areas would foster more parking circulation.
Poor access to parking is detrimental to business - we need new people who get that making decisions for San Luis Obispo.
Get rid of the parklets and get those street parking spots back 1) Add trolley system for visitors (similar to Santa Barbara), with free parking farther away to avoid downtown congestion. Visitors do not mind spending more time to get to downtown as it would be an experience. What they do not like is paying for parking and having to move the car every 2 hours. 2). Small downtown businesses that purchase and deliver their own cost of goods are at an extreme disadvantage to larger companies, due to the zone for paid commercial delivery. It becomes very expensive and creates an unfair advantage trying to pay for street parking and delivery your own goods to your place of business. This is one of many issues facing small businesses trying to compete with larger companies. 3. The parklets are taking up to much space and many are far beyond the storefronts. There are several businesses serving food on sidewalks that clutter the sidewalk with umbrella stands, tables etc, making it impossible for wheelchair access.
People complain about it, but when I have driven DT, I have never had a parking issue. I think people assume they should get a space right in front of their destination. A good questions to add would be "what do you define as near your destination." OK, good luck! I know a lot of people who don’t want to go downtown because of how easy it is to get a ticket. It feels like ticket enforcement is at a crazy level
It used to be easy to pop downtown for something. Since you've replaced most of the lots with hotels (!!!) parking has become a slog. Consequently I'm there a lot less and almost always spend money elsewhere. Part of that is that I don't work nearby any more, and the pandemic of course.
But I don't see my new reduced use changing much in the current state of things.
Parking and delivery access is critical to service a central business district like downtown.
As a business owner the town needs to realize that the life blood is retail (sales tax $) , we need to accomdate visitors beyond the hotels (hotel tax is not the primary). Without having things for visitors to do or see or buy..they will not stay. So listen to the businesses! I’ve lived here for 30 years and I’ve never found parking downtown to be a problem except when there are special events. You just have to be willing to walk a few blocks.
Park-lets should be restricted to business fronts only Current street parking should not be taken away until more convenient off street parking is provided (March Street example) Making parking more expensive is destroying the downtown. You are driving businesses and customers to the new shopping centers on the outskirts, creating a strip mall community.
Parking garages should give more time free. Payment in cash should be accepted. When the payment machine at the exit spits out a receipt, it falls on the ground and is impossible to retrieve without getting out of your car. In the first question asking to rank certain things (above) you have not indicated whether 1 is highest or lowest. I believe I misinterpreted the question.
Question 15 is badly constructed as it lumps public transportation with walking/biking. Walking is easy; public transport is not. Also, I have a dedicated parking spot, some questions didn't make sense for me.
more free parking, less homeless, more police, clean sidewalks, trim trees Make it more people friendly with less cars. Also the buffered bike lane on Higuera has faded and is frequently blocked by cars or used by cars as a travel lane.
Make it more convenient to walk or bike and less so for motor traffic. If this is the last question, then I suggest making this survey less car-centric and open more questions to cyclists' perspectives.
This is a disappointing and biased survey, and a blown opportunity. The City could have used this to vet the real solutions and options that are already being used and discussed and in our adopted plans. We have great policies and ideas that aren’t funded. The phrasing of these questions pits cars/car drivers against all other modes, which is a waste of time. Many residents use more than one mode to travel in town, and it would seem helpful to use a survey to understand more about barriers and facilitators of each mode. Why weren’t questions about ridesharing or the trolley/shuttle included? We are better and more innovative than this.
You should get rid of the parking meters on the 1100 block of Palm St. They are rarely used meaning the parking is open most of the time and it forces more downtown City and County employees to park on the 1200 - 1400 blocks of Palm and Mill. You would help relieve congestion in the neighborhood by letting people park there unregulated.
It is really irritating when delivery trucks block the streets at peak hours cutting off a lane for a full block and traffic backs up. We need enforcement of delivery times and no trucks allowed during peak business hours.
Read the book Happy City= less cars and prioritization of walking and bikes creates safer and happier places to live.
Your selection of answer options and questions are skewed and limited toward the answers you are looking for. They are biased.
Public access to government offices ought to be as much a civic priority as access to shopping.
There is only one county seat, after all, but there is no easy public access to the building that houses the offices of the Recorder, Assessor, Tax Collector, or Board of Supervisors. Many elders and families with children visit these places, and the lack of nearby parking can be an issue for them. Shuttles/trolleys are a good solution for these short trips in and around downtown -- when people have heavy things to carry, when it's too hot to walk, or when you are just too tired after a long day to walk uphill for 40 minutes to get back to your neighborhood.
Downtown should have a pedestrian only space. Connectivity through/to downtown should be improved for active transportation and ebikes/scooters.
I know many people who avoid downtown due to parking issues. I go downtown because I can walk there.
If you build more parking, more people will drive instead of considering better, more healthful, more convivial, and more sustainable alternatives. Do we really want more cars downtown? Or do we actually want more people downtown. I'd argue its the latter that we should support. The future is car-sharing and autonomous vehicles... and electric micromobility solutions such as electric scooters and electric bikes. Just look around downtown now; the transformation is afoot.
Don't build for yesterday; build for tomorrow.
Thank you for doing this! There have been such huge improvements in recent years. Improving the transit experience is the next big challenge.
On street parking is a wasteful use of the public right of way. Prioritize moving people over cars by making it easier to bike/walk and more inconvenient to use a personal vehicle.
Looking to the future that is arriving already with self parking cars, planning for a future that does not take up incredibly valuable (both human value and capital value) area for a small subset of downtown visitors to access and park is very close minded, and antithetical to the reason of this review.
I do not see riders using the newest bike lanes and so far, it looks like a waste of funds. I would like to see bike riders be cited for riding on sidewalks and riding on the wrong side of the street.
More mixed-use developments to encourage walking and biking, and encourage people to use the structures! Would love employee incentives.
