<br /> 62-89 - '~fter studying the parking in the downtown area with regard to the on-street
<br /> parking meters and the parking lots, I wish to submit the following:
<br /> At the present time, I recommend no change be made in the on-street parking
<br />meters as to rates and locations except on London Street in ~he area of the Federal Building and that $0.05 per
<br />hour meters be installed on London Street between Water and Middle Streets.
<br /> At the present time the parking lots are producing about $18,000.00 annually
<br /> with operating costs around $9,500.00. This is using attendants on the lots and charging s rate of $0.10 per hour
<br /> operating from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
<br /> If the rates on the lots were reduced to $0.05 per two hours and $0.25 all day
<br />and operated at 50% of capacity, they wou~d produce about $10,500.00 annually. This would be using meters and
<br />operating from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
<br /> Paying for the meters over a three year perimd the net loss would be $1,500.00
<br />per year over the present operation. After the three years and meters are paid for, there would be a $2,000.00
<br />
<br /> Under this plan the lots would be established as follows:
<br />~ Edinburgh Square Lot 66 spaces $0,05 per two hours, four hour limit
<br /> Proctor Square Lot 108 spaces $0.05 per two hours, four hour limit
<br />
<br />102 spaces
<br />
<br />Kings Square Lot
<br />
<br /> This would also provide a token feature on
<br />desire to participate in such a plan.
<br /> I recommend the above plan be adopted."

<br />$0.05 per two hours, four hour limit

<br />"AN ORDINANCE TO CLOSE A PORTION OF WARRICK STREET.
<br />
<br />The following letter was read:
<br />
<br /> "We, the River Park Garden Club, request that you please consider our plea not to
<br />close Warwick Road along the water front.
<br /> We are requesting that Warwick Road to the right as well as the left of Greenbrier
<br />Road be opened and at both ends to extend into Algonquin Street as shown on the map for Old River Park, and as
<br />planned by the city when we bought our property here.
<br />
<br /> The fact is that every street leading off of Greenbrier Road, except Montgomery and
<br />Albermsrle, are dead end streets. These two streets are dead end at one end thus causing a traffic problem.
<br /> We, the River Park Garden Club, feel that the wishes of the residents of River Park
<br />are being sacrificed for only a few who would want their property ~o run down ~o the water, therefore, givmng them
<br />an extra 50 feet of land which we feel as ~ax payers we should have the benefit Of also. All that we ask is thst
<br />you give us what was planned in the ormginsl map when we bought property in this area.
<br />
<br /> We hope that you will give this your consideration in the interest of al/ of the home
<br />owners mn this locality. At this time a petition ms being circulated in regards to this matter, and will be sub-
<br />mitted at the aext council meeting. Signed: Mrs, Floyd ~. Holloman, Sr., Corresponding Secretary."
