The new meter rates would go into effect as soon as they could be implemented. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: City Area New Parking Rate per Hour Downtown $2.00 Harbor East $2.00 Fells Point $2.00 Federal Hill $2.00 Mount Vernon $2.00 Revenue - 2075-000000-2320-502400-402530 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: Pursuant to Article 31, §7-8 of the Baltimore City Code, subject to the approval of the Board, the Director of the Department of Transportation may set the rates for any parking meters. The Department and the Parking Authority believe that parking meter rate changes are needed and warranted in certain neighborhoods at this time. Parking meters are parking control devices designed to help create turnover in on-street parking spaces so that short-term parkers, such as business patrons and visitors to the City, can more easily and quickly find a place to park. In order to be effective, parking meters must have hourly parking rates that help accomplish turnover of parking spaces. The parking meter rates must be high enough, in relation to off-street parking rates, to drive longer-term parkers (i.e. commuters and others who park all day or nearly all day) to off-street parking garages and lots. 61 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 6/9/10 Department of Transportation ­ cont'd Over the past several decades, parking meter rates have not kept pace with off-street parking rates in many areas of the City, so it is often less expensive to park all day on-street (and "feed" the parking meter) than to park in a nearby parking garage or lot. As a result, on-street parking spaces do not turn over frequently, and the negative effects of this situation are many: · Business patrons and visitors to attractions in the City are not able to find on-street parking for short-term visits. This creates the perception that "parking is a problem" in the City, and may deter people from driving into the City to patronize businesses, restaurants, theaters, and other attractions and, as a result, hurts those businesses and attractions. · As drivers circle City blocks looking for on-street parking spaces that are increasingly unavailable due to low turnover, City traffic becomes increasingly congested. This increased traffic congestion has the additional negative effect of producing more air-polluting auto emissions. · When on-street parking spaces are less available, many more instances of double-parking result. Double-parking exacerbates traffic congestion, creates unsafe conditions for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists, and delays the responses of emergency vehicles. Many other cities in the United States have adjusted their parking meter hourly rates in their most congested areas over the past several years in order to address issues of low on- street parking space turnover. Those cities include the following: · Philadelphia ­ between $2.00 per hour and $3.00 per hour · Washington, DC - $2.00 per hour · Pittsburgh - $2.00 per hour · New York City - $2.50 per hour · Chicago ­ between $2.50 per hour and $4.25 per hour · Los Angeles - $4.00 per hour · San Francisco ­ between $2.00 per hour to $3.50 per hour 62 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 6/9/10 Department of Transportation ­ cont'd The request to adjust the rates is based on the recommendation of the Parking Authority of Baltimore City. The Board of Directors of the Parking Authority has reviewed the parking meter rate recommendations, and recommends approval.
