Parking Permits?

***IMPORTANT***

Please email responses to schumacherplace@gmail.com ASAP.

The City of Columbus is investigating setting up parking permit areas in the neighborhoods surrounding Nationwide Children's Hospital. This includes Schumacher Place neighborhood but also Livingston Avenue, Livingston Park, Old Oaks, and Southern Orchards.

Our feedback is requested by Thursday, January 20, close of business (just before our next membership meeting). So please send in your feedback as soon as possible before then:

1. Where do you live (nearest cross streets such as - Beck and Beech):

2. Do you believe that parking near your residence is impacted by Nationwide Children's Hospital now?

3. Is street parking a problem near your residence currently (regardless of reason)?

4. If permit parking is provided, what type of permit do you favor? Some examples:
i. Only people with permits are allowed to park on those streets (No Parking Except City Permit __)?
ii. Permits only in the evening (No Parking 5pm-6am Except City Permit __)?
iii. Limited time parking (2 hr Parking Except City Permit __)?

5. If permit parking is provided, should there be visitor passes for guests?

Other comments or questions are welcome.

    Free Parking Software for Town Houses, Condominiums, and Businesses Solves Parking Problems
    Searching for a parking space is such as frustrating routine activity for lots of people in cities all over the world. This search is burning over a million barrels of oil of the world each day. There are also 4-parking spaces every vehicle in the US and almost all streets are most of the time, empty, which leads to urban environments that are ironically doing far more to accommodate the vehicles than people. As the global population continuously urbanize, without a convenience-driven and well-planned retreat from cars, these sort of parking problems will worsen.
    http://webparkingsoftware.com software is the first step in the right decision. It involves using low-cost sensors, mobile phone-enabled, and real time data collection automated payment systems enabling people to reserve parking in advance or predict accurately where they can find a spot. When deployed as a system, free parking software thereby reduces car emissions in the urban centers by means of reducing the necessity for the people to circle the city blocks needlessly searching for parking. Furthermore, it permits the cities to manage their parking supply carefully.
    This free parking software is now being developed in many different states and cities around the United States and some other countries. For instance, in LA, smart meters and low-power sensors are tracking the occupancy of parking spaces across the Hollywood district, one of the most congested areas. The users will be able to access this occupancy data in order to determine the availability of the spots and then pay for them with their mobile phones. Other than the environmental benefits and lending convenience, free parking software is improving the utilization of the current parking, which lead to greater revenue for parking owners.
    These programs will be able to make great differences on a neighborhood level, but more widespread development and deployment is necessary for free parking software to change the cities and to contribute to the transportation sector pollution reductions greenhouse gas. One problem is that there are no citywide solutions all over the fragmented private and public parking providers. The occupancy data has a tendency to have many owners and is not accessible or standardized in a way that may enable software developers to turn into user-friendly applications. Thereby, individual smart parking efforts are so far successful locally, but uncoordinated, and operates in their own entrepreneurial or bureaucratic vacuums without a need to take gap between current free parking software and more widespread transportation system planning is an enormous missed opportunity for the cities to reduce the transportation related emissions.
    Moreover, free parking software has been hindered by a lack of insight into the complete benefits of this software, specifically when compared to the cost of building extra parking spaces. Lack of collaboration between communities with the parking software programs, as well as lack of coordination between hardware providers, municipalities, and developers is also contributing to the slower adoption of smart parking. Nevertheless, it is possible to overcome all these issues. Cities will be able further accelerate these advantages by means of updating the land use and building codes policies to reflect the reduced need for parking.
