Downtown Parking Management
Draft Goals
1. Reduce the number of vehicles that are parked all day (long-term) in hourly (short-term) spaces.
2. Ensure that both the Marine Park Parking Garage and the Telephone Hill Parking Gararge (under constuction) are utilized at or near capacity year-round.
3. Ensure that on-street parking spaces are available near all destinations at all times of the day for use by visitors who only need short-term parking.
Other Considerations to Potentially be Rephrased as Goals
Suggested at the 11/10/09 Planning Commission meeting:
A. People are able to get to work or other destinations and have viable options: private car/bus/bike are equitably served.
B. Reduce parking demand by ensuring that transit service is provided at current or improved levels.
C. Maintain the existing availability of on-street parking for area residents.
Suggested at the meeting that YOU attend:
A. Please submit your ideas, comments, and concerns to Ben Lyman at benjamin_lyman@ci.juneau.ak.us or attend one of the public meetings on this project to make your voice heard
