Regards, Pam From: Isabella Chu[mailto:isabella.t.chu@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, September 08, 2019 6:05 PM To: Janet Borgens _ Cc: CD -Christian Hammack <chammackOredwoodcitv.org> Subject: Re: Residential Permit Parking Permit Program Policy.docx Dear Janet (and Christian), Here are my comments on the permit program. Overall it looks good: 1. This revision has more flexibility which is great, though I think having a finite number of suggested flavors would greatly simplify things - though you may have done that and I didn't see it on the printout. 2. I noticed the default program is limited to business hours (or similar). I realize this is an artifact of its origin to manage business parking, but given that the program is for residential areas I don't think this makes sense any more. At least in Friendly Acres, our crunch is the worst in the evenings and the weekends. given that this is a once in 35 year attempt to revise the program, I think it should be bolder and address the issue of a very strong demand for a very valuable resource and anticipate that this is only going to get worse. The defaults could be revised to include three options: 8 - 5, 7 - 6 or 24/7. 3. The default language is also still for 3/address. Again, given the thrust of the national conversation around housing, and the repeated laws in Sacramento calling for increased units per plot, I think a per plot program will age much better. Our neighborhood voted on per address or per plot and the clear winner was per plot. There was a tie between 2 or 3 per plot. I suggest 2 per single family plot and 3 where there is more than one address. This is a limited resource and the program will completely break down if any of the housing bills in Sacramento pass. Those are the main things. I hope that we can revise though I realize it's Sunday night. All the best, Bella On Sun, Sep 8, 2019 at 5:31 PM Isabella Chu <isabella.t.chnggmail.com> wrote: Looking now.
