CONCLUSIONS FROM PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE:

• STRONG PREFERENCE FOR SEPARATED BIKE PATH / BAYFRONT CONNECTOR TRAIL

• ANGLED BACK-IN PARKING IS CONCEPTUALLY SUPPORTED

• EXPANDED SOUTHERN SIDEWALK IS PREFERRED

• DESIGN FOR FLEXIBILITY & FUTURE USES / GROWTH

CASE STUDY : ANGLED BACK IN PARKING • Decreases spaces’ depths required for angled parking • Requires driver education & signing • Communities adapt quickly • Similar motion as parallel parking:

• Pull past space • Signal & • Reverse into space • DOES NOT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL MANEUVER

• Safer to exit and pull out into traffic

“In addition to creating more parking over traditional parallel parking, back in angle parking can also be used as a traffic calming / street narrowing tool, can enhance pedestrian functionality and walk-ability within the downtown area and can work harmoniously with bicycle lanes, all resulting in a more attractive and intimate downtown corridor enhancing the downtown experience and leading to increased economic investment.”
