DISCUSSION
The Council received the completed parking studyon June 12th, 2015.
Revealing the details of the study to the community is imperative so that as a city we can work collaboratively to solve long standing parking issues. Our goal is to better the lives of residents and increase business activity throughout Downtown Long Beach.
From the November 11, 2014 Agenda Item:
As downtown Long Beach continues to transform and grow ensuring access to safe, clean, and user-friendly parking lots and spaces is a necessity for residents, visitors and business owners. With the upcoming meter study it is imperative that parking be looked as a collective in order to have a comprehensive strategic approach that works for everyone utilizing these resources.
