Item No. _.____13 028
Date: November 26, 2012
Item/Subject ORDINANCE, Amending Parking Schedule X, Off -Street Parking Lots, to Change
Atler Lot from 30 Minute Parking to 2 Hour Parking
Responsible Department: Community & Economic Development
Commentary:
This Ordinance will amend the parking schedule to increase parking times in the Atler Lot from 30
minutes to 2 hour parking. Currently, there are 22 regular spaces and 1 handicap parking space in the
Atler Lot on Harlow Street, across from the Federal Building. The lot is currently timed for 30 minutes.
Now that the Post Office has vacated the building, 30 minutes does not meet the demand for longer
stays at the Federal offices remaining in the building. It is the Downtown Parking Advisory Committee's
recommendation that these spaces be moved to a 2 hour limit. This item was reviewed and
recommended for approval at the BED meeting on November 20, 2012.
