We did a very comprehensive parking study here in Sandy on behalf of the City Council a few years ago. The main issue here was that Sandyites were complaining that there wasn't enough parking in downtown Sandy and that they wanted the City to do something about it. Well, lo and behold, after performing a parking count, we found out that we actually have an abundance of parking downtown, but many of our citizens will simply not walk more than a block to patronize a business, and will literally turn around and drive home if they can't find a parking spot close enough to their destination in one pass. I don't know that there is anything the City can do about that. However, the parking study also provided us with some good data as to some other downtown parking issues and has driven us to change some of our policies, including implementing a really cool wayfinding program here this summer to correct our anemic directional signage.</div>

Sheri - The PARKING IN OLD TOWN subject is getting big in Sherwood. Sherwood Main Street (SMS) is putting together a comprehensive plan to address this. We have met with the Police Department and the City Council is clearly interested. We have discussed it
repeatedly at our SMS Board and SMS General Meetings.<span style="color:#1f497d">
</span>Would like to request information on what other Main Street cities have done & are doing on this subject -- plus any recommendations they might have.<span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The major topics include: Signage & Enforcement, Employee Parking, Loading/Handicap Zones, Business Needs, Permit Areas, Park & Ride Areas, Apartments, and other factors.
<span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Any information would be helpful.<span style="color:#1f497d">
