�� ir activity for powntown will be 8pm to 9pm on Fridays. According to the "On Broadway" EIR, there will be a public parking deficit of 29 spaces at this time. Since the completion of the EIR, however, the City has entered into an agreement with the County of San Mateo which will a11ow the general public to use their large garage at Middlefield Road and Bradford Street during some weekday evenings and Friday evening through Sunday night. This agreement has brought an additiona1797 spaces into the Downtown public parking supply during the new peak period of activity. Adding these spaces to the public supply creates a surplus of 768 spaces during the new Friday evening peak. With a sellout show at the Little Fox, that surplus drops to 688 spaces. Even with simultaneous sellouts at the Little Fox and the main Fox Theatre—a raze occasion—there would still be a surplus of 250 public parking stalls in the Downtown core.

Periods that aze now relatively quiet in Downtown, namely evenings and weekends, will now be vibrant with activity. Downtown will change from a daytime and office oriented district to a multi-functional 18-hour a day district. Fortunately, even during the busiest nights of the yeaz, there will be enough parking spaces to go around. However, without very effective parking management, it will not feel like nearly enough parking is available. The Unique Nature of Parl�ng in Downtowns It is very clear that the parking challenge before us is significant. However, downtowns, by their very nature, possess certain parking advantages as well. Identifying and taking advantage of these assets is one of the keys to our pazking destiny. paste 5
