PARKING TURNOVER
•Length-of-stay data was collected hourly from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (11 hours) on
Thursday, October 10, 2019 using License Plate Recognition. 402 unique plates were
noted at this time.
•Overall, the majority of vehicles parked downtown stay for one or two hours.
•61% were parked for one hour, and 16% were parked for two hours.
•The majority of vehicles parked on High Street were parked for one (68%) or two
hours (16%).
•Remaining vehicles on High Street were parked for 3 or more hours, which may
have been parked in an unrestricted area of High Street.
•Charles Street experienced the lowest turnover, which is expected due to it primarily
being a street serving residents.

PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS
•Make parking requirements for flexible so as not to add to the surplus
•Parking in lieu fees, parking credits or similar policies can provide for the managed
growth of a consolidated parking infrastructure by a single entity (typically the city
or a Business Improvement District), rather than a patchwork of low capacity lots
serving individual properties.
•Consider policies that facilitate shared parking downtown (multiple businesses or land
uses sharing the same supply) to leverage the abundance of empty parking spaces.
•Consider flexible parking policies that allow for adjusted parking requirements for land
uses that have different periods of peak demand.
•Consider opportunities to share parking through the lease or utilize private off-street
spaces.
