At our meeting of the parking and access committee on October 1,2024,we discussed the proposed
implementation schedule for the new gateless access equipment at the city garages.While the
proposed schedule was to install the new equipment in all garages concurrently,we felt that a
partially phased approach would be preferred to allow the installation at the Chinatown Structure to
occur first.This would allow for testing and making sure all the ‘bugs’are worked out prior to
moving forward with the remaining garage installs.
We would also like to express our support for adopting the Flash Parking gated system as the
standard parking solution across all City-owned and operated garages.By utilizing a single vendor
for all parking structures,we can reduce confusion among visitors,residents,and the community at
large.A unified system will promote ease of use and enhance the overall parking experience.
Standardizing the system will streamline purchasing and implementation processes,allowing
efficiency toward completing the installation at all remaining garages.This approach aligns with the
City's goal of improving accessibility and user experience while ensuring operational consistency.
Thank you for your consideration in this request!
