Hi, Susan
Thanks for taking time out of your vacation to send this. I certainly hope you will be able to review the plan when you
are settled in back home, and I look forward to talking with you about it.
To begin answering your question, the plan shows the provision of additional easily -accessed structured parking in
all three subareas of the downtown, shown on our Illustrative plan, Figure 3.1. The goals of the plan include ensuring
adequate parking and preserving the downtown's residential neighborhoods (among many others, in Chapter 2). In
Chapter 5, the plan includes a wide variety of public implementation strategies, in Table 5.1, including a mobility and
circulation section which includes parking facilities (p. 5.6-5.8). I'm happy to meet up and discuss the plan in more
detail and hear your thoughts when you are back in town.
Also, yes, I am happy to submit your email below to the Planning Commission for Wed's meeting, or you can resend
it addressed to them (sending to my email is fine) and I will forward to them. If I don't hear back from you by
Wednesday morning, I'll just forward your email below.
Thanks, and happy travels!
Rebecca

Subject: Have you missed me?
Hi, Rebecca
I'm out of the country for 3 more weeks, and can't download the downtown plan document to my poor overloaded
phone. Can you tell me how it addresses the issue of employee parking as the density and employee base increases
downtown?
(I've been away, but as my neighbor Shelley Johnson can attest, I was carrying my groceries and other things from
around the corner and down the street more and more often before I left.)
I will be really angry and heartbroken if this issue continues to worsen for downtown property owners and residents,
due to these concerns not being addressed in the planning process.
Please tell me there's something in there to help us. These neighborhoods have survived too long to be destroyed by
"improvements" that benefit investors but ruin the quality of life for those of us who have chosen to invest our life
savings and hearts in the Old Town neighborhood.
Also, will this note make it into public comment, or do I need to submit it elsewhere?
Thank you.
Fingers crossed,
Susan
