The study will review current and future parking demands, time restrictions, distances to parking areas, staff and patron parking, as well as residential parking. The strategic plan will provide recommendations to increase and/or better manage city parking spaces. The Downtown Temple City Parking Strategic Plan will serve as a guide to support commercial activity in the downtown while balancing concerns with nearby residential interests. What is Parking Management? Parking management refers to various policies and programs that result in more efficient use of parking resources. Effective parking management within a downtown environment employs a variety of techniques that support the short- and long-term parking needs of business staff, customers, delivery vehicles, as well as nearby residents. Parking management programs can make each parking space serve business and residents better - improving the customer experience, sorting out priority parking uses - and provides a basis for orderly expansion of parking facilities when needed. Strategic methods to provide adequate parking spaces within a comfortable walking distance can include time restrictions, improved user information, improved comfort at remote facilities, pricing (meters) use of spaces, construction of additional parking lot(s)/garage, remote parking, sharing parking between businesses, incentives for carpooling/transit/bicycle usage and other techniques.
