Turns out the lot is zoned commercial and that the owner has had - and has been doing for some time - to lease 12 spots in a nearby surface lot. <br /><br />So the problem here is with current code and the requirement to have off-street parking, either a lot or to lease spaces in a lot. <br /><br />It may not be possible in the current regulatory environment to do much here.<br /><br />Hopefully this will be an example for the North Broadway Parking study, and they will be able to find solutions that decrease pressure and regulatory demand for surface parking lots like this.Salem Breakfast on Bikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618055627843335993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666195730630249633.post-38482870077726362072012-07-23T12:39:05.710-07:002012-07-23T12:39:05.710-07:00Data!

While parking spaces may occasionally fill up, a survey done for the North Broadway Parking management plan showed occupancy rates for the blockface along Broadway to vary between 10 and 40 percent. Peak weekday and weekend hours were surveyed. If anyone would like to see the survey results, let me know. Gary - 4bikes@comcast.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
