Walker Consultants did a parking study. The Participants had opportunity to comment of the 498 who took participated - 318 took time to give their opinion. Who is listening? #32to #75

32 more parking decks 7/2/2018 9:37 PM

33 Closer Handicap spaces to destinations downtown, more spaces may be needed. 7/2/2018 4:28 PM

34 no 7/2/2018 2:57 PM

35 As a resident, I pay $100/year for a parking pass. However, the agency that collects it is in a weird space; difficult to catch them during open hours. Also, last year they did not have any expiration date stickers and I still have not received it. Recommend: 1 or 2 free parking passes for residents, with option to buy additional passes through city hall or police station. 7/2/2018 12:28 PM

36 Not much of a survey; not sure what you will be able to do with responses to these limited questions. Rarely go to Festival Park activities because parking is limited/too far to walk. Will only be made worse by new stadium. 7/2/2018 12:00 PM

37 Keep parking free after 5pm and on weekends. 7/2/2018 9:21 AM

38 suggest some sort of transportation for the disabled and elderly with luggage to get to the train station without trying to cross Hay Street. Need a Trolley or tractor with cars to transport folks to the station or the ball game. Being you are going to make folks pay to park, use the money to transport people. 7/2/2018 9:00 AM

39 Parking is not a problem Downtown. It s a perceived problem but the Courthouse has hundreds of spots that will be available during baseball games. 7/2/2018 7:24 AM

40 My suggestion is focusing on the ballpark and the fun atmosphere more than the parking and driving. 7/1/2018 2:35 PM

41 Communications and other members of the police department should not have to pay or be ticketed. We work early, late and holiday hours and parking should never have to be a concern for us. We need a designated and SAFE parking area. 7/1/2018 2:26 PM 58 / 76 City of Fayetteville, North Carolina - Downtown Parking Plan Survey

42 You took away the handicapped parking at Amtrak. I use the train usually twice a month. It is impossible for a handicapped person to park at the Airborne Museum and walk to the train station when they have a walker and carrying luggage. Then when that stadium goes up you will be charging for parking. How much money do you think a senior person has to spend on parking when it was free at the train station. You are so inconsiderate to the handicapped people in the area that it isn't even funny. Someone had stated that the parking in the museum was about 750 to 900 feet from the station how about you like walking it with a walker, luggage, and bad legs and back. You should return the parking back at Amtrak for the convenience of all the people who use the train service. You were very inconsiderate to remove the parking from there in the first place making it impossible to park and/or drop off and pick up people who use the train on a daily basis. 7/1/2018 9:55 AM

43 More so getting into and out of downtown 6/30/2018 9:28 PM

44 3-month parking passes should be able for purchase for ALL downtown employees & business owners so they can park close to their business. Church parking lots downtown SHOULD be open for ALL parking daily (except Sundays), they are TAX free and as such: providing parking should be the least what they should do. 6/30/2018 2:28 PM

45 Please continue to rejuvenate downtown! 6/30/2018 8:36 AM

46 Nicer parking spaces encourage people with nice cars to park a little further away so that they do not have people hit their car. Also don't make so many compact car parking spaces. Don't make people pay too much for lot parking. There should be designated parking for the baseball field. 6/29/2018 7:59 PM

47 I see a total lack of good planning on selecting the current baseball site. Conflicts with events held at Festival Park which usually lacks adequate parking.I am not sure if the Minor league games will be well attended. However, I see conflict with other events held downtown and shortage of parking spaces. The city has been trying to entice people to come downtown and by supporting local businesses to bring back the downtown area. Again, if you are going out to dine or to a movie at the Cameo theater, you do not want rush eating to keep feeding a quarter into a parking meter. Then you have the shortage of handicap spaces in a community of many war veterans and elderly. Generally I can find a space for a movie after regular business hours and on Sunday afternoon, however maybe not with an evening game being played. Another idea I expressed to the contractor at their booth on 4th Friday, June 22,2018 was maybe coordinating bus service to transport military personnel to downtown from Ft. Bragg and back for baseball games. This would maybe reduce chances of being arrested for DWI consuming beer at the ball park or alcoholic beverages at restaurants or bars. 6/29/2018 5:12 PM

48 I believe the residents should not be charged to park in the parking garage after 5 and on the weekends DURING SPECIAL EVENTS (residents could be given resident vehicle stickers for identification purposes only). Even though, as a resident, we can pay for a yearly pass etc., I only park after 5 and on the weekends - for this reason, I will not pay for a pass. The other reason we don't purchase a parking pass is we are told we would be assigned even further away in another parking area - safety concerns. The first weekend you started charging came out of nowhere - my husband and I had no idea this was going to happen and we've lived there almost 3 years. FOR SAFETY REASONS IS WHY I CHOOSE TO ALWAYS PARK INTHE GARAGE (cameras make me feel safer) UNLESS I CAN FIND A SPACE OUT FRONT OF MY APT. ALMOST EVERY MORNING I'M APPROACHED BY THE HOMELESS ASKING FOR MONEY - some get very agitated when you say no. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE OR COMFORTABLE PARKING ANYWHERE EXCEPT THE GARAGE OR ON THE STREET CLOSE TO MY APT. 6/29/2018 9:10 AM

49 Allow motorists to park within the same block instead of having to park within a different block after 2 or 3 hours. 6/28/2018 7:06 PM

50 Business owners should have free or discounted parking available. 6/28/2018 7:02 PM

51 I enjoy not having to worry paying parking tolls while downtown. In those cases where I have to worry about a parking meter, I would shorten my trip so the meter doesn’t run out. Downtown Fayetteville has so many little shops that it’s nice to leisurely walk into rather than rushing. 6/28/2018 6:44 PM

52 In my opinion, there is not a parking problem downtown. There is a walking problem. I think that if all parking was metered or if there was no parking on Hay/Person, the structure would become much more popular. 6/27/2018 12:45 PM

53 Make provisions for downtown workers. When the Festival parking costs were raised no thought was given to the effect on people that work downtown. It can already be difficult to find a space that female workers feel safe walking to late night alone after work alone, so if they have to pay $30 for 3 days of parking in the deck, because it feels safer, it's a burden to a low wage worker. 6/27/2018 12:19 PM 59 / 76 City of Fayetteville, North Carolina - Downtown Parking Plan Survey

54 Maybe a parking deck for the lot off Maxwell St 6/27/2018 11:23 AM

55 on this topic I suggest that Fayetteville NOT follow trends...on street parking has been free...I understand decks have to be paid for...that's a given but as is first come first serve for two hours Monday through Friday til 5:00 PM then weekends open... We don't have to be like Raleigh, Charlotte or other cities keep the feel we have..or had up to dogwood festival..... There were some greedy people down town it was embarassing 6/27/2018 10:44 AM

56 Do we really have to charge $10.00? 6/27/2018 10:13 AM

57 Need more parking options near the courthouse! Please don't make Hay Street diagonal parking. Meters work for me. 6/27/2018 9:11 AM

58 Get rid of the old buildings and turn them into parking spaces 6/27/2018 3:46 AM

59 the rules are not enforced regularly. Parking enforcement does but Fay PD over looks a lot of issues and it causes problems. This is not a blanket complaint just what I observe while walking the area in some cases 6/26/2018 5:03 PM

60 We need more parking and not at a big cost to park. 6/26/2018 3:51 PM

61 Moticycle parking. There's none. Hard to park Three or four can park in the same place as a car. 6/26/2018 3:46 PM

62 Please mark the zones more clearly....or add parking meters. It is very unclear as to where each zone begins and ends and since parking is only for 2 hours per zone, it is very hard to determine where you may move your car without receiving a ticket if you need to be downtown for longer than 2 hours. 6/26/2018 3:36 PM

63 Parking should be free in the paid parking lots for parents picking up their kids from the Capitol encore academy. 6/26/2018 3:22 PM

64 I recommend making each side street ( ie Old, etc a one way street and add additional parking spots on the one way streets. 6/26/2018 3:06 PM

65 In order to maximize the number of visitors to downtown I believe proximity to their destination and ease of access will be key. People don't mind paying for parking, so long as they are close to where they want to go. Parking for baseball will need to be near the baseball stadium. 6/26/2018 2:53 PM

66 Don’t limit street parking to 2 hours. Instead provide residents a permit pass and location to park. 6/26/2018 2:40 PM

67 Keep some free options, or at least keep free options available during the week for parents. 6/26/2018 1:47 PM

68 Resident parking is a must. 6/26/2018 1:38 PM

69 I park and walk to pick up kids from Capitol Encore. I walk because I don't like the drive-through jam. I often come early and shop. If all parking downtown is pay all the time, I and all the other walkers will join the traffic jam out back. 6/26/2018 1:36 PM

70 I find parking downtown to be super easy, especially compared to other urban areas in the US. Rather than focusing on parking, I wish the City would focus on making things more bicycle and pedestrian friendly. 6/26/2018 1:22 PM

71 more free parking and not 2 hour limits 6/26/2018 1:16 PM

72 Parking is important as my child attends school in downtown Fayetteville. 6/26/2018 1:11 PM

73 Keep maps updated for online access that tell people where they can park. 6/26/2018 12:05 PM

74 Establish free shuttles or trolleys that do a loop around the downtown area. 6/26/2018 10:37 AM

75 My son goes to The Capitol Encore Academy school downtown. I have to be able to park close to the school to drop him off and pick him up, volunteer and attend school events. I do not and should not have to pay for parking. Thank you 6/26/2018 10:26 AM
