83. - Page 165 1 Camino Real Corridor Plan VEHICLE PARKING OCCUPANCY On -street parking occupancy surveys were conducted on August 9, 2016. Parking occupancy surveys were conducted along the east side of El Camino Real from Finger Avenue to Northumberland Avenue and along the west side of El Camino Real from Finger Avenue to Renato Court. Parking occupancy was also collected on side -streets for the block immediately adjacent to El Camino Real. The parking occupancy survey was conducted during the weekday midday period. The street parking occupancy on El Camino Real during weekdays on the east side and west side are shown in Table 6 and Table 7, respectively. Parking occupancy for cross -streets during weekdays on the east and west sides are shown in Table 8 and Table 9, respectively. Street parking spaces are typically underutilized along El Camino Real, with occupancy ranging between 65 and 70 percent. Side streets are also underutilized, with occupancy ranging between 79 and 82 percent. It should be noted that the side street parking occupancy survey was conducted during the midday peak. Given that many of the side streets serve residential neighborhoods, the peak parking demand is likely to occur during the evening rather than during the daytime, though the occupancy survey reveals that excess parking on these cross streets could be used by other complementary land uses. The available on -street parking demand along El Camino Real is approximately 70 percent and on cross -streets of the corridor is approximately 80 percent; therefore, area -wide parking is currently underutilized. Overall area -wide parking utilization should not exceed 85 percent. Existing right- of-way currently used for parking, especially along El Camino Real, could be repurposed to improve facilities for other modes, such as wider sidewalks or bike facilities along the corridor.
