227 Very frustrating to park in a 2 hour space, stay for 5 minutes in the same space, leave and come back later and get a ticket no matter how long I stay in the space during the 2nd visit. 6/21/2018 7:44 PM

228 Safer, well lit long term parking solutions for employees and business owners in a central location so street parking is free for customers of businesses and games, with paid hourly parking that accepts debit cards/smart pay 6/21/2018 6:56 PM

229 The building of the parking deck beneath the hotel is great, but I assume it will only be for hotel guests and could not be used for Amtrak travelers of City Employees. I'd suggest building a deck for City Employees or making one level of the deck under the hotel for City Employees. Many City Employees work overnight and to assume they will be safe walking more than three blocks from available parking at night is unreasonable. Well lit parking close to City Hall, HRD and the police department is a necessity. 6/21/2018 6:55 PM

230 The slanted parking in front of Huske Hardware need to go! They are hard to get out of when it’s busy and trucks don’t fit all the way in, causing cars to have to swerve out to avoid hitting them and going into the next lane. 6/21/2018 6:33 PM

231 We need other modes of transport such as bicycle taxis, horse carriages, mini bus. There are times when I need to bring someone handicapped to a game and they are unable to walk to the stadium. If I drop them off and then have to go find a park and walk back myself they could be standing there for 30 minutes or more and will probably not be able to stand that long by themselves. 6/21/2018 6:14 PM

232 Parking should be free for business owners. 6/21/2018 6:05 PM 233 We have plenty of parking options in DT Fayetteville for those able and willing to walk a few blocks. DT Fayetteville is walker friendly. For large events (Annual festivals & the opening of the Multi-Functional Baseball Stadium) private entrepreneurs with the appropriate credentials/liability insurance should run shuttle services from the Cumberland County Court House parking lots (front & back) to the new baseball stadium/festival park area. 6/21/2018 6:00 PM

234 Signage, safety, well light streets 6/21/2018 5:00 PM

235 Please check in to park & rides, shuttle, trolley, golf carts etc... 6/21/2018 4:30 PM 71 / 76 City of Fayetteville, North Carolina - Downtown Parking Plan Survey

236 For a 3000-seat, multimillion dollar stadium, there needs to be a three or four-story parking garage built along with it in order to attract a large number of people who opt to drive to family-oriented events like baseball games, concerts, etc.. If people are frustrated with the perceived lack of parking, they will opt to go to alternate venues. 6/21/2018 4:28 PM 237 Bikeshare! I also would love a parking pass option for downtown employees. Instead of paying per hour or having spaces for only 2 hours. 6/21/2018 4:15 PM 238 As a business owner, I pay monthly for 2 parking spots, during dogwood festival, I had to pay an additional $10.00 per spot each day! Absolutely ridiculous!! And now you are putting a baseball stadium in the middle of downtown, where there is no parking! My business has already dropped about 10% and I have customers that tell me, they won't come back downtown because of the parking ! 6/21/2018 4:14 PM
239 Maybe setting a valet parking form the parking garage to the front of the stadium. Invest in Bicycles or electric bikes to travel around downtown that you can rent and drop off at different locations within downtown. 6/21/2018 4:11 PM

240 The city needs to have adequate, FREE or low cost parking, especially for public events events. If I did not own a business I would RARELY come downtown if I had to pay to park. It's outrageous and not worth it. 6/21/2018 3:42 PM

241 Employees need a designated parking area near their business. It’s too hard to find somewhere to park, and when you do you have to worry about moving your vehicle before the time limit is up and get a ticket. And paying to park down here every single day is too expensive. If employees could pay a yearly parking pass that would be much more efficient and price reasonable. 6/21/2018 3:40 PM

242 Downtown needs to have some sort of employee parking. It’s not good for women, as well as men, to have to walk more than a block downt he Street to get to to their vehicle. Especially after hours. I feel The parking situation deters a lot of people from the downtown area! It is a situation that definitely needs to be addressed. 6/21/2018 3:37 PM

243 In other cities there are bike rentals where you pay and bike from one location to another. They also have pedi-cabs and those are a super solution to having to park far from a destination, especially for those with mobility issues. 6/21/2018 3:33 PM

244 More options for employees of businesses. During events I have to walk my staff back to their cars for safety and they sometimes have to park 15 mins away just to get a spot and then walk all the way back after they close late at night. 6/21/2018 3:32 PM

245 If you make parking paid you will run off customers that the small downtown business owners depend on. They have kept your downtown alive for you to be able to build this ball field. Please don’t take away what they kept strong through the tough years. If you make parking paid for small business owners and their employees they will lose revenue and employees that are both hard to come by to begin with. You will see businesses close. 6/21/2018 3:30 PM

246 If there is 2hr free street parking and then 3hr free lot parking on the same block, and they are both considered the same lot (even though the signage is styled differently) it should be made apparently clear that you must move OFF that block in order to avoid getting a ticket. Also, it should be communicated via public signage that if you leave and come back hours later you have given up your free hours. I have never lived in a city with such complicated parking rules. It deters the military community from leaveing the base to go downtown when they feel they need to read a brochure or scan the parking website to understand how and where to park. Or, all of this could be avoided with meters that can partner with a smartphone to alert the driver when their time is almost up and give them an option to extend their parking for the normal hourly rate. 6/21/2018 3:30 PM

247 The Transit(FAST) Parking NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. It is unfair as a City Employee that these customers are utilizing the SMALL SPACE that we as employees should have for only our use. I shouldn't be forced to PAY to come to work, NOR, should I have to walk more than 2 blocks to get to my building due to safety and security. IT is IMPERATIVE that changes be made, parking lots can be used wherever in the city if you have an EMPLOYEE PASS, and specific lots should be delegated for EMPLOYEE ONLY parking and NOT MIXED LOTS. 6/21/2018 3:27 PM 72 / 76 City of Fayetteville, North Carolina - Downtown Parking Plan Survey 248 Railroad Depot/Tracks are a PIA for mass traffic, add Bus Transit/Depot. A Parking Garage that’s closer to the Jail than Festival Park plus most folks are a bit afraid of using the Parking Garage, especially at night and now the city wants to charge to park in an Unhandy and questionable safe PG. Then scrunch in, beside those Railroad Tracks, another Parking Garage, Baseball Complex, Hotel, Townhouses and Businesses in the Prince Charles Renovation......if the city can find enough folks to fill the Baseball Complex, can they all park NEAR it? If the folks drink a few beers at the game, the Police Dept is across the street do Fayetteville becomes DUI City. Only the merchants downtown will benefit from all the TAX Money going into these I’ll planned projects. I love going downtown to see all the changes, would really like to try stiff the new Restaurants as we Est out everyday but we drive thru, look for Parking that we can find close enough to where we want to go, since I walk with a brace. Yes there are issues with downtown Parking already. An afterthought maybe when the old bridge is cleared perhaps an Open Parking Deck could be built on that site with Smaller Buses Continously Trollying Folks back and forth to Hay Street Area with Stop’s at a couple major sites. 6/21/2018 3:00 PM

249 A bit late to be concerned about parking, isn’t it? Should have been done before breaking ground on a high occupancy attraction, with little existing parking and worse highway access. Rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship comes to mind. 6/21/2018 2:56 PM

250 I would recommend improved wayfinding signage that guides you to available lots. Especially if its available after work hours. There are signs everywhere telling you what you can't do but not many guiding you to parking. You have to kina know where to go to find it which is unfriendly. I would like to see paystations on Hay street so there might be available parking for visitors, the spaces on the street seem to always be occupied by business owners or employees. 6/21/2018 2:56 PM

251 I work at the Headquarters Library off of Maiden Lane. The library is open 7 days a week. I work on Wednesday evenings till 8:00 pm. I need convenient, safe parking near the library. I am a Library Technician so I'm not paid very much. I need free parking if at all possible. The library has a few spaces across the street designated for employees. This is very helpful and I hope they will continue to have these spaces for employees. 6/21/2018 2:55 PM

252 More than 2-3hr parking/ paid meters 6/21/2018 2:45 PM

253 Convenient free parking should have been thought of before the growth downtown. Swampdogs baseball has free parking and cheap family fun! Bye! 6/21/2018 2:06 PM

254 Do not charge an event rate for people who work downtown. It is punitive. I will. It pay $10 a day for my employees to work downtown in addition to salary. I forgot the city contracts with any businesses and gives them parking at a reduced rate or allows them to park for free, then all business should receive the same treatment. 6/21/2018 2:01 PM

255 Yes, for the old transportation BUS hub on Person Street, to become a public parking facility. This will create more foot traffic on Person Street, something that the businesses in that area has been struggling with, will help to claim that area from the homeless community as more business and visitors activity increases and it will be a good stroll through local businesses in Hay St and adjacent streets on their way to the Ball Park. If people park near the stadium they will park, watch the game and leave, minimizing the opportunity to shop and eat at local businesses. 6/21/2018 2:01 PM

256 None. 6/21/2018 1:51 PM

257 Parking should be no more than $5. 6/21/2018 1:38 PM

258 Safe parking areas are needed in downtown. Some of the downtown population can harass pedestrians walking to and from parking areas. They may ask for money or something of that nature. Not only is additional parking needed, the safety of the parking areas should be taken into consideration as well. This should include pedestrian safety or additional crosswalks to aid in safely walking to and from parking areas. 6/21/2018 1:36 PM

259 I will pay to park. I thank everyone should ride the FAST BUS. Fast bus should run 7 days a week on downtown events and support its citizens to destination. 6/21/2018 1:36 PM

260 Do not make the parking decks paid parking after 5PM 6/21/2018 1:21 PM

261 no 6/21/2018 1:20 PM 262 Dena and I live at Parkview so we will walk to the stadium. One of the biggest problems in downtown parking is the front parking area of the Post Office. Folks who come to Federal Court park there and often stay beyond 2 hours. 6/21/2018 1:18 PM

263 A trolley to the surrounding neighborhoods would be amazing. 6/21/2018 1:18 PM 73 / 76 City of Fayetteville, North Carolina - Downtown Parking Plan Survey

264 I don’t know how or where but we need more, especially with the new stadium and businesses surrounding the stadium. —- safety is very much a concern! The farther you have to walk, the higher the concern! I have turned around and gone home because I wasn’t comfortable where I had to park, I am sure I am not alone. 6/21/2018 12:59 PM

265 There should definitely be more parking downtown - with security to ensure those cars and the people who are returning to them are safe. Perhaps there is a fee involved with those lots that employ security guards or cameras. Cost should be as minimal as possible in order to get people to come downtown more. The big bus terminal may seem a little far from the downtown shopping and restaurants. Perhaps a bus that will drop them off at Hay and where Huske Hardware meet will get people to come downtown more as well. 6/21/2018 12:14 PM

266 most parking places on Hay street are taken by business employees frustrating when trying to run in and shop quickly or to pick an item up I dont mind paying if i am having a long dinner or shopping day but otherwise its a hassle 6/21/2018 12:00 PM

267 People are not going to walk to get to the baseball stadium. 6/21/2018 11:50 AM

268 Make sure there are plenty of handicapped parking spaces close to major venues (new stadium and Festival Park) AND keep parking lots/decks free of charge on weekends and after weekday business hours—regardless of special events happening at those times. 6/21/2018 11:46 AM

269 Downtown needs more free parking and parking in general! There's not much space to park unless it's the parking deck which isn't free during the week. 6/21/2018 11:44 AM

270 Park and ride somewhere close to an eating establishment off 401 or McPherson Ch Rd. 6/21/2018 11:43 AM

271 I do not plan to stay in downtown that long to park 6/21/2018 11:37 AM

272 Have parking just for residents. Finding parking near my apartment at 5pm is almost impossible. I am moving out of downtown because when the new stadium is built, I will not be fighting for a parking spot just to go home. 6/21/2018 11:36 AM

273 For the majority I come to town to work but since then have enjoyed the downtown area but once I am here to work I do not feel that we should have to move our vehicles every 2 to 3 hours and play a game of musical parks just to come to work especially when there are multiple parking available in the parking area right out our back door which is not off the main road that would be an inconvenience to the public or people we serve. Our entire office has this discussion daily and for us to be entertaining this survey explains that just our department is not the only one with the issue. I feel like as long as you have a permit for parking as an employee we should not have to stop working to look for a park or drive and walk for nearly 10 minutes just to get back to work. The parking issue not seems to be unorganized but a huge hindrance to our productivity. Please accept this survey to help correct this issue as soon as possible. thank you. 6/21/2018 11:32 AM

274 There needs to be another parking garage added, or some other form of free parking that will allow the multitudes of baseball-goers to park without monopolizing every current space in the downtown area. 6/21/2018 11:30 AM

275 Do not take away free on street parking. Businesses depend on it. If free parking is taken away, I would consider moving business. 6/21/2018 11:25 AM 276 Do away with parking tickets for curbside parking. 6/21/2018 11:17 AM

277 Build satellite lots for downtown with a frequently running shuttles and lot security and turn existing parking areas located directly in downtown into greenspaces instead. 6/21/2018 11:11 AM

278 Keep some parking free. We are nowhere near the point when we can take support for downtown for granted. Let's not drive that support away. 6/21/2018 11:09 AM

279 Charging to much to access parking. People that work at city Hall to include communications should be allowed to park behind building as well as side of building no charge to them as long as they have city stickers. The personnel that work at police dept have no spaces to park on franklin st corner and barely having space across from new bus station. Parking along side curb by franklin street police dept should not be allowed. It is a safety hazard because you cant see traffic coming from museum area because of vehicles parked there are blocking view for police vehicles and other vehicles exiting the gate from PAB area. 6/21/2018 11:09 AM

280 I rarely have trouble finding parking downtown. If I am unable to find street parking, I utilize the new deck. I do like that it is free most of the time. I would suggest a separate parkng area for baseball fans. 6/21/2018 10:55 AM 74 / 76 City of Fayetteville, North Carolina - Downtown Parking Plan Survey

281 There is plenty of space available downtown to be utilized for parking, but the areas are undeveloped. Despite the need to park, there needs to be an effort to keep downtown from turning into one continuous slab of concrete, which would take away from any beautification projects that had occured during the last few years. The stadium is a chance to showcase downtown to nonlocals, but it seems the end result has not been completely thought through. How will non-locals know to park 3-8 blocks down the road? Couldn't a parking lot with tram service be put in play as well? 6/21/2018 10:49 AM

282 Stop building stuff. 6/21/2018 10:21 AM

283 I have lived in bigger cities and truly enjoy downtown experiences. I'm truly excited for the new baseball stadium and will attend several events once it open. I just hope that there is plenty of affordable parking so that every one can enjoy the events!!! 6/21/2018 10:15 AM

284 Need more parking spaces 6/21/2018 10:12 AM

285 Not at this Time 6/21/2018 9:43 AM

286 My focus is parking spaces for downtown workers when an employer does not provide parking spaces for his or her employees especially when they are only hiring part time employees or have only one person in their office or business establishment only paying for his or her own personal parking space. Most employers are not willing to pay an additional fee for employee(s) parking even when only paying part time, minimum wages or barely above minimum wages. There are many empty lots with only a few cars but all are paid spaces no one can afford to use. Public transportation takes up a big part of our day adding additional travel time that could be used to spend more time with family exploring some of the opportunities the community offers. 6/21/2018 9:39 AM

287 N/A 6/21/2018 9:28 AM

288 You need to offer close and convenient and CLEARLY designated parking for departing and arriving at Fsyetteville Amtrak station. 6/21/2018 9:27 AM

289 Parking for the train is discussing, no places to park once you get there. Disabled people don't have a chance. Will the train station ever have another parking lot. The struggle of my husband and myself. Have ing to park far away because of no parking spaces. He couldn't help because he just had surgery. I am totally disappointed. 6/21/2018 9:27 AM

290 I hope that the new baseball stadium does not create a parking problem for those of us who visit downtown for other things. I also hope that it doesn't change the ambiance of our wonderful downtown area. 6/21/2018 9:26 AM

291 Yes. Enforce the rules. Stop allowing people to park in spaces clearly marked as loading or no parking zones. Fix the parking lot across from the library - that's ridiculous. Our company wanted to hold an event at the AIT space on a weekday between 8 and 5. We were unable to book the space because the parking charges were absurd. We would have brought 50-60 people downtown for a full day, they would have patronized the restaurants downtown and shopped in the local shops during our lunch break, but the city would not work with AIT to reduce the parking charge to something reasonable for our group. 6/21/2018 9:26 AM

292 Fayetteville is not a high income city and with the cost of admission/participation to local events, many families may not have funds to pay for parking. Adding the cost of parking to an already increasing cost of recreation may not be in the best interest of our city at this time. This is not to say that at a future date paid parking may be necessary, but this may not be the right time. 6/21/2018 9:19 AM

293 If this concerns parking related to the stadium, the developers should focus on stadium parking. I love the availability and “free” weekend parking in downtown. Please do not change this! 6/21/2018 9:17 AM

294 No 6/21/2018 9:06 AM

295 For the ballpark, a park and ride system would be really good . 6/21/2018 9:04 AM

296 None 6/21/2018 8:58 AM

297 should have built stadium somewhere other than downtown so there could be adequate parking. 6/21/2018 8:51 AM

298 Create more free parking that is available to the community 6/21/2018 8:51 AM

299 I have never spent money to park downtown. There have been times where I could not find a free space close to my destination and went somewhere else other than downtown. I would not want to pay for parking to pay to see a baseball game. 6/21/2018 8:48 AM

300 easy parking that is free somewhere. i dont mind walking 6/21/2018 8:44 AM 75 / 76 City of Fayetteville, North Carolina - Downtown Parking Plan Survey

301 More parking needed near Festival Park off Ray Avenue and across Rowan. The park is booked for 50+ events a year and there is '"0" public parking available to the park. The lot at 225 Ray is now private as is the Masonic Lodge lot and the old Bank of America Lot. The nearest public lot is over a 1/4 mile away which for 86.9% of the people is not a huge issue. The huge issue is the for the 13.1%*of NC residents that have a disability. Those 13% will not likely endure the long trek to "downtown events" when they are faced with a 1/4 mile+ hike to the entrance of the event. *Cornell University Disability Status Report 6/21/2018 8:26 AM

302 Options for employees to park in a safe location close to their destination is minimal. Most employees, even those of the City of Fayetteville must move their vehicles every 2-3 hours to different spaces throughout the downtown footprint. This results in loss of employee productivity and focus as well as loss of parking spaces for the general public and consumers. I believe lack of accessibility is one of the major reasons that consumers do not visit the downtown area and that businesses fail. 6/21/2018 7:59 AM

303 Get more parking downtown 6/21/2018 7:20 AM

304 The parking ramp is my go-to parking spot lately. It seems underutilized. There’s always spots. The price is super affordable. 6/21/2018 6:45 AM

305 Walking much more atttactive option but crossing Robeson St. is dangerous. A walkway over it would be useful 6/21/2018 6:18 AM

306 “If you build it, they will come”. Let’s plan for the future that includes the notion that Fayetteville will become a near metropolitan area. 6/21/2018 4:20 AM

307 Keep free parking. I will not pay to park downtown. 6/20/2018 10:40 PM

308 Free: Just because others charge does not mean that we have to. If we want to emulate other communities let's be more like Cary and copy their UDOs 6/20/2018 10:05 PM

309 Very concerned about the lack of handicapped parking at the train station. My disabled relative is no longer able to travel to Fayetteville to visit. 6/20/2018 9:51 PM

310 I think $10 for an event without charge is fair but it should be $5 for ballgames since you already have to buy a ticket. If not I will ride my bike to the baseball park 6/20/2018 9:35 PM

311 The parking spaces along "main st" downtown are very short. When people have larger vehicles it is difficult to maneuver around them in order to travel in the right lane. They are also at a very sharp angle. Where the new parking spaces were put in downtown a few years ago, by the old bus station, they are just collection points for garbage and water. They look unsightly and collect garbage and waste. 6/20/2018 9:34 PM

312 more parking spots 6/20/2018 9:29 PM

313 Well lit parking areas would be nice. Downtown isn’t exactly inviting after dark when you have to walk a distance to get anywhere. Clearly marked lots so people know where they can park without worrying about being towed. 6/20/2018 8:44 PM

314 All free parking. 6/20/2018 8:14 PM

315 Watch illegal parking. 6/20/2018 7:49 PM

316 There's plenty of parking, and Cumberland county and Fayetteville city employees need to begin paying for parking; The paved lots can be built upon for more businesses, offices, etc., to build upon. Increase the downtown worker population, for the economic benefit of the city of which the county is a part of and has a vested interest in. Paved free space can be sold, resulting in increased businesses resulting in increased tax base. Also the multiple paved lots around the courthouse reflect the county's lack of partnership and vision of foreseeing their vested interest in a "live" downtown. The sparse, spread out downtown is in need of a vision to fill in spaces and make it more compact. Downtown is more like a suburban area with its spread out nature. 6/20/2018 7:24 PM

317 The railroads havent been mentioned at all. At 7pm the other day three trains blocked Hay St. Another railroad overpass is badly needed in the downtown area. 6/20/2018 6:09 PM

318 There will be a need for additional signage directing you to public parking lots. 6/20/2018 6:08 PM
