BACKGROUND:
At the request of the Orono D.B.I .A. , a parking survey and a
works cost estimate for the installation of parking meters
in the downtown area of Orono was undertaken.
A review of the on-street parking in the downtown area
commenced with a site investigation on Tuesday, March 15th.
It was noted that existing parking patterns reflect an
inefficient usage of the available parking area. Parking
spaces are neither delineated nor metered, which induces
random parking. This in turn affects the traffic flow on
Main Street (Regional Road 17), and the ingress to and
egress from local entranceways.
REPORT:
The attached plan illustrates a parking layout that provides
for fifty-eight (58) potential parking spaces, and complies
with parking policy, entranceway policy, and guidelines set
out by the Region of Durham' s Traffic Department.
The total cost estimate for the layout and zone painting of
the parking spaces and the installation of Duncan parking
meters would be $25,000.00 (an average of $431.00 per
space).

An itemized cost breakdown is as follows:
26 Twin Meters @ $750.00 $19,500.00
6 Single Meters @ $405.00 $ 2,430.00
32 Installations @ $55.00
(Incl . Labour & Materials) $ 1,760.00
Zone Painting & Restoration $ 1,000.00
Total Cost $24,690.00
i
The information derived from the parking survey in Orono, as
requested by the D.B.I .A. may be summarized as follows:
1. Number of parking spaces created. . . . . . . . . . .58
2. Capital cost to create the parking spaces
including meters and zone painting $25,000.00
3. a)Annual Revenue at 10� per hour $ 9,000.00
b)Annual Revenue at 25� per hour $22,500.00
Note: The annual revenue calculation is based
on a fifty (50) hour week and an assumed
sixty percent (60%) occupancy rate.
4. Annual surveillance cost for both
Orono and Newcastle Village $15,000.00
In conclusion, metered parking at 10� per hour would not be
profitable; however, a rate of 25¢ per hour would generate
an annual revenue sufficient to pay for surveillance in both
Orono and Newcastle Village with a surplus of $8,000.00 per
year to pay back the initial capital outlay.
- 4 -
It is, therefore, recommended that Council consider adopting
the recommendation to provide a metered parking scheme in
Orono at the rate of 25� per hour and that funds for the
initial capital outlay be taken from the Town's parking
reserve or other designated sources.
Respectfully submitted,
R.G. Dupuis, P. Eng. ,
Director of Public Works.
