Parking Management Plan Area
Parking Management Plan History
2007-2008: North Hollis Parking Management Plan by CDM Smith
2009-2010: Study area expanded
2010: Final Plan completed, but implementation delayed due to recession
2016: Economic recovery continues; parking pressures increase
2017: City wins grant to implement parking management
1. On-street meters with variable pricing Short-term parking in high-turn-
over areas Long-term meters or long-term
employee permits in employee and extended-stay visitor areas
2. Expanded residential permit parking area No meters or parking restrictions in
industrial areas Bus corridor parking restrictions
along Hollis Street during commute hours
Recommendations from 2010
Add Marina/Powell St. west of I-80 Update parking meter technology Assess current prices for parking Evaluate enforcement resources
and costs for residential parking permits
What’s Changed Since 2010?
Consider parking management in Berkeley and Oakland
Account for transportation network companies (TNCs) like Lyft and Uber
Deliveries, construction

Timing Milestone October 2017 Collect baseline data. November 2017 Get community input. January 2018 Release draft report. February 2018 Go back to community, including
Planning Commission and City Council. Spring 2018 Issue Request for Proposals (RFPs) and
select vendors for parking technologies and adopt Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Policy.
Summer 2018 Install and test new parking management technologies. Roll out permits in areas concerned with spillover from priced areas.

Potential Solutions
Parking meters
Residential parking permits
Parking Meters
Smart Meter • One at each space • Pay with credit card
or coins • Aesthetic/ space
concerns on sidewalk
• Most familiar & easy to use
Multi-Space Kiosks • One or two per block
– pay at kiosk and return to car to display or pay-by-plate
• Pay with credit card, cash, or coins
• Less sidewalk space • Slightly less familiar
and easy to use • License Plate Reader
(LPR) enforcement
Pay by Phone • Pay online • Add money/ time
without returning to car • Requires credit card • Can be combined with
Smart Meters or Multi-Space Kiosks
• Requires downloading and learning new App
• License Plate Reader (LPR) enforcement
Pricing Comparable to pricing in nearby cities –
Berkeley and Oakland – and reasonable for expected users
Option to implement Variable Pricing: Prices based on observed parking demand
Can vary by location or time of day
Help direct short-term parkers to the most
convenient spaces and long-term or more
flexible parkers to spaces with more availability
License Plate Reader (LPR) enforcement
Parking Meters
Parking Meters
Questions to consider: What’s the right technology?
Could variable pricing work?
Where should short-term parking be
encouraged?
Where should long-term parking be
encouraged?
Existing Residential Parking Permit program is limited and cumbersome
This effort could revamp and expand
Would address spillover parking in areas where meters are added
License Plate Reader (LPR) enforcement
Residential Parking Permits (RPP)

Questions to consider: Roll out citywide?
How to respond to different types of areas?
Tiered pricing for multiple cars?
How/should visitors and construction
vehicles be integrated?
Residential Parking Permits (RPP)
Residential permits don’t have to require physical stickers – just pay online and enter license plate
On street paid parking can be enforced through license plate readers and database
Apps such as Spotfinder can help find, reserve, and pay for parking
Goal: not enforcement, but turnover and availability
Technology and Enforcement
Small Group Discussions – 1 hour

South of Powell + Triangle
Peninsula
Small Group Discussions – 1 hour Parking meters Variable cost for parking based on time? Appropriate technology? Long-term? Short-term?
Residential parking permits Roll out Citywide? How to respond to different areas? Tiered pricing for multiple cars? How/should visitors and construction
vehicles be integrated?
