Hello,

You are receiving this announcement because you have expressed interest in
the City of Lawrence parking study or represent a neighborhood that may be
included in the study area. The Lawrence City Commission authorized a
consultant-led study of the parking system serving downtown, east Lawrence
and the neighborhoods surrounding the University of Kansas. Background
information and the detailed project plan are available on the November 15th
agenda report (here: https://assets.lawrenceks.org/
assets/agendas/cc/2016/11-15-16/parking_consultant_staff_memo.html). The
consultants are evaluating the comprehensive parking system serving the
study area, including metering, enforcement and overtime parking,
neighborhood parking issues, utilization and demand analysis, parking
system finances, development code requirements related to parking, public
transit’s support of parking and capital assets. The study will inform a
strategic parking plan which is expected to guide the operation and
development of the parking system for the next 5 to 10 years.



Please see the attached announcement of stakeholder engagement meetings
planned for the parking study. A map detailing the study area is also
attached. Public input is important to the success of the study and the
development of a parking plan that addresses the community’s needs. I hope
you can attend and will help spread word of these meetings to individuals
with an interest in these specific parking issues. I would highlight the
two meetings scheduled to address parking issues specific to neighborhoods
surrounding KU. These are alternate dates with the intention of individuals
attending the one meeting that is convenient for their schedule. A meeting
is also scheduled to discuss parking issues specific to the east Lawrence
neighborhood is also planned.



The consultants will facilitate each meeting and City staff will also be on
hand. The meetings will focus on parking issues specific to each
stakeholder group listed on the announcement. The consultants will also
facilitate a City Commission work session on this topic. That meeting is
scheduled on February 14th and public comment is encouraged. An
upcoming Lawrence
Listens <https://lawrenceks.org/lawrence-listens/> survey is also planned
as part of the public engagement process. Please feel free to contact me
with any questions about these stakeholder issue meetings or the parking
study.



Thank you,
