3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3.1 Existing Supply and Demand
Parking studies were conducted by Public Works on the following days:
Tuesday, August 29, 2000
Monday, December 18, 2000
Friday, January 26, 2001
Saturday, January 27, 2001
11:00 a.m. to 3:00p.m.
11 :00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
11 :00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
11 :00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
These parking studies covering various months and different days of the week did not
indicate a parking shortage. For the pwposes of the study, only on-street parking was
considered, with additional parking on private property not being included. As shown on
the attached study results, there was an average of 16 to 23 parking spaces (30-40%)
available to customers parking in the downtown area.
3.2 Use of Existing Parking Supply
Long-Term Parking:
After conducting the parking studies, Public Works made B.LA. representatives aware that
parking in excess of the three-hour parking limit by residents, merchants and employees was
evident. This practice is eliminating a number of prime customer parking spaces. The
enforcement levels are currently being reviewed by the Clerks Department. The B.LA.
representatives were reminded that its members and their employees should park on private
property or on distant side streets, not in the prime downtown customer parking areas.
Accessibility:
At the request of the B.I.A., the parking stalls on the east side of Main Street will be
adjusted and painted to provide more defined and easier access to the three stairways.
Parking supply will be increased by one space as a result of the changes to the parking stall
SIzeS.

Metered Parking:
Parking meters are used to increase parking turnover and reduce abuse of the time limits.
Meters can also be used to generate revenue for the purchase of land for future off-street
parking lots. Parking meters are not being recommended for Orono at this time due to the
adequate existing parking supply.
3.3 Expansion of Existing Parking Supply
The lack of available land and the low to moderate customer parking demand precludes the
creation of an off-street parking lot in the downtown core at this time. Instead, the on-street
parking supply can be increased on two separate streets by shifting parking from one side to
the other if it has fewer driveways or fire hydrants.
Parking on Church Street, south of Centre Street, is currently pennitted on the west side and
supports 6 parking spaces. If the parking is moved to the east side, it would support 9
parking spaces due to fewer driveway entrances.
Parking on Centre Street, east of Church Street, is currently on the north side and supports
20 parking spaces. If the parking is moved to the south side, it would support 25 parking
spaces due to fewer driveways and the placement of fire hydrants. Although not considered
prime parking for downtown customers, it would provide additional parking for other users.
Parking on Park Street, east of Church, is currently on the south side and supports 15
parking spaces while the north side only supports 13 spaces. The existing by-law does not
need to be changed but a number of missing no parking signs will be installed.
4.0 CONCLUSION
4.1 The on-street customer parking supply in Orono can be increased with a number of changes
to the "No Parking" schedules of Traffic By-law 91-58 and a review of parking enforcement
levels.
