(Continued page 3) Some solutions to downtown A draft parking report relating to Downtown Orono and prepared for the Town of Newcastle by the consulting consulting firm of Proctor Reàfern was presented to the Orono DBIA on Wednesday evening by .the chairman. chairman. The report gave a summary of parking inventory as well as demand demand characteristics and an assessment. assessment. The report also included alternatives for additional parking downtown and a summary and recommendations. The report spoke of 103 theoretical parking spaces in the downtown resulting in 87 practical parking spaces». During the peak demand, taken in June 1988, which came during the period of 2:30 to 6:00 p.m. on Friday the re was a surplus of 19 parking spaces. It was pointed out that parking facilities operate near capacity on the east and west side of Main Street from Centre to Park Street, the east side of Main south of Park Street and as well the south side of Park Street. Other areas are underutilized, stated the report. It was pointed out in the report that 52 percent of the demand is for less than 30 minutes in the preferred parking areas. This conforms to a recent customer survey undertaken by the DBIA which shows 70 percent percent of shoppers in downtown shop for less than one hour. The consultants recommended that pavement markings delineating the parking spaces and indicating the no-parking zones would im- parking prove the overall operation of the existing parking supply. They also suggest signing such customer parking parking areas as behind the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The report also suggests that an . additional seven parking spaces could be derived by moving parking from the west side of Church Street between Centré and Park to the west side. This would create a total of 14 parking spaces. A lot on the west side of Main Street north of Orono Garage could also be upgraded to develop a total for twelve cars rather than the present present four. The report stated there was the potential at the southwest quan- drant at Church'and Centre Street to create a total of 44 parking spaces rather than the existing 23. It was noted at the meeting that it was doubtful that the consultants had taken into consideration the tile beds in this particular area. The. report further noted that another alternative for increasing parking*supply, if warranted at this time, existed through share parking between retail, institutional and community land uses. It notes that employee demand often falls during the off-peak hours oT institutional and community parking facilities. Through a shared use, states the report, a better utilization of parking parking spaces could materialize. It notes this does require respect of these shared facilities on the part of those making use of them during the off-peak hours.
