<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 15<sup>th</sup> agenda report (here:
<a href="https://assets.lawrenceks.org/assets/agendas/cc/2016/11-15-16/parking_consultant_staff_memo.html" target="_blank">
https://assets.lawrenceks.org/<wbr>assets/agendas/cc/2016/11-15-<wbr>16/parking_consultant_staff_<wbr>memo.html</a>). 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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. <b><u></u><u></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 14<sup>th</sup> and public comment is encouraged. An upcoming
<a href="https://lawrenceks.org/lawrence-listens/" target="_blank">Lawrence Listens</a> 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.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you, <u></u><u></u></p>
