To determine if the recommendations from the 2015 Walker report are still relevant, an examination of the City's existing parking conditions was conducted and summarized in the Narrative (see Attachment 1).
The Narrative is a document completed by the consulting firm Dixon Resources Unlimited in conjunction with the City's Parking Programs Manager. The Narrative is not a report; it is a snapshot summary of the Parking Program's existing conditions.
