Selection of a Parking Consultant for Support of the Advisory Parking Improvements Task Force, Parking Study, and Solutions

City Council Agenda Item Report FROM:

Ryan Cummins, City Manager

MEETING DATE:

October 8, 2025

SUBJECT:

Selection of a Parking Consultant for Support of the Advisory Parking Improvements Task Force, Parking Study, and Solutions

DESCRIPTION: On July 14, City Council approved the creation of an advisory Parking Improvements Task Force and issuing a request for proposals (RFP) for consulting services for a parking study and solutions. The City received three proposals in response to our RFP which are attached for your review. Mayor Anderson, Council Member (and Chair of the Task Force) Muncey, and I reviewed the proposals and conducted interviews with each team. We are recommending that City Council approve the proposal from Walker Consultants. Walker Consultants is recognized as an industry leader in parking studies, and they are partnering with our long-time engineers at Fleis & VandenBrink. This gives us the benefit of expert consultants with a fresh set of eyes on our parking concerns, combined with the knowledge and experience of our long-time engineers. For the Task Force, having access to consultant expertise is especially important. Parking concerns in Saugatuck have persisted for decades without the benefit of consultant analysis, and Walker’s involvement provides proven strategies informed by national best practices. In addition, some potential solutions may require significant capital investment—areas where expert guidance will help the City make well-informed, cost-effective decisions. By pairing Walker’s specialized parking insight with the institutional knowledge of Fleis & VandenBrink, the Task Force will be better positioned to recommend both immediate improvements and longterm investments that truly meet the community’s needs. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

None at this time. The fee proposal from Walker has been negotiated down to $82,425. The budget for FY 25/26 includes $125,000 for contractual services to assist with various Council priorities including a parking consultant. LEGAL REVIEW: Legal reviewed Walker Consultants’ general conditions of agreement. Legal will be at your meeting if you have any questions. SAMPLE MOTION: Motion to approve the proposal from Walker Consultants for consulting services to conduct a parking study and recommend solutions, in the amount of $84,425.

Request for Proposals to Provide Consulting Services for Parking Study and Solutions

Dear Mr. Cummins: The team at Walker Consultants (“Walker”) is considered the preeminent industry leader in parking planning, design, operations, and technology. We are qualified and confident in our ability to exceed the expectations of the City of Saugatuck (“City”) if selected for this project. Walker’s national and international experience with downtown parking planning, operations, policy development, parking facility design, signage and wayfinding planning, and program implementation can all be applied to this project, helping the City address its immediate needs while setting the community up for long-term success. Having visited Saugatuck numerous times, the members of Walker’s project team have seen some of the challenges you face firsthand. However, we do not come into this project with any preconceived notions of the day-to-day struggles the community experiences with parking, transportation, and mobility. If selected for this project, we will lean on the experiences of City staff, members of the Parking Improvements Task Force, and the greater community to inform our understanding of the real issues facing Saugatuck. Our team will then bring our experience to bear in the development of potential solutions to those issues, providing the City with detailed recommendations and actionable next steps. To supplement Walker’s own staff, we have partnered with the team from Fleis & VandenBrink (“F&V”). With their mix of technical expertise and experience working with the City, F&V will provide the Walker team with valuable insights into the community, as well as personnel to gather and visualize the field data needed to understand the current parking and transportation dynamics in Saugatuck. Given Saugatuck’s vibrancy and the pressures placed on the limited space downtown, our team understands the importance of completing this project successfully, and we believe we are the team best suited for the task. Thank you for considering us for this project. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Sincerely, WALKER CONSULTANTS

Firm Introduction Fleis & VandenBrink (F&V) is an employee-owned, multi-disciplined civil engineering firm with 10 offices serving Michigan and Indiana. Our team encompasses a broad range of services designed to provide our clients with a one-stop-shop consultant. Providing a wide range of services allows us to design custom-fit solutions and award-winning projects - on time and on budget. Our growth has been an outcome of hiring the best people, doing great work, and focusing on client relationships. We believe great relationships are built over time through communication and an understanding of our client’s needs. We work collaboratively to gain that understanding by uncovering potential issues and concerns prior to beginning work. Knowledge of those critical success factors gives us agreed upon expectations and allows us to work together towards successful projects. We also understand the critical component funding has in turning a project vision into reality. Our team of funding experts actively pursues grants and low interest loan opportunities on behalf of our clients. We work diligently with state and federal organizations to find and obtain the best option for each project. Since our inception, we have obtained more than $1 billion in grants and low interest loans for our clients.

CORPORATION Fleis & VandenBrink Engineering, Inc. (F&V) was established in January of 1993 as a firm of Professional Consulting Engineers. F&V currently operates as a Corporation in the States of Michigan and Indiana. Years in Business: 32 John DeVol, PE President Craig Shumaker, PE Sr. Vice President www.fveng.com | 800.494.5202

CORE PRINCIPLES Understand our customers’ needs and satisfy them… Employ, value, and empower good people… Do what we say we are going to do… Have fun!

VISION STATEMENT F&V is the leader for delivering efficient, effective, innovative projects by top professionals who are making a difference. As a strategic partner, F&V listens to clients needs to provide customized solutions to design, build and operate successful projects.

F&V’s Relationship with the City of Saugatuck Fleis & VandenBrink (F&V) has had a long-standing and successful relationship with the City of Saugatuck. Since 1998, we have served as one of the City’s trusted advisors and engineer of record, giving us a deep care for the community and understanding of the infrastructure. F&V has helped the City with many unique challenges relating to infrastructure, significant seasonal population fluctuation, critical dunes issues, and environmental issues relating to Lake Michigan. Project involvement has included aspects of its Capital Improvements Planning, building, roadway, recreational, and environmental needs over the years. One project we’ve worked on together that specifically stands out in relation to this RFP, is the Oval Beach Parking Lot Improvements project. We increased the parking capacity by 1.4% without significant expansion of hard surfacing and enhanced the park entrance to better accommodate turning movements for larger and recreational vehicles. Design of the expansion area took the configuration of the existing backlot into consideration to improve traffic flow. The improvements came in 9% (about $37,000) under budget. Several of our recent projects have included a study phase with various levels and forms of public engagement to help drive decision-making. We have found that a flexible, multi-session open house format has been an effective way to get input from the community, especially when combined with an electronic option for those that cannot attend and special sessions with key stakeholders. We would envision a similar process for this project, with details tailored for the project specifics.

RECENT NOTABLE PROJECTS

Our close relationship with staff and frequent attendance at council meetings gives us great insight into the community needs and direction that help us provide the appropriate engineering solutions. We believe that this communication is key to delivering successful projects for the City that have both sound technical and community inputs.

Parking Studies

A parking study is more than just counting spaces – it’s a comprehensive analysis of how people interact with parking and transportation within a community or development.

At F&V, we take a holistic approach to understanding and addressing parking challenges. Our team evaluates existing conditions through detailed inventories and GIS-based mapping of public and private parking facilities, studies user behavior and traffic flow, and considers how pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users interact with the site. We analyze seasonal trends, ADA accessibility needs, enforcement practices, and regulatory frameworks to ensure our recommendations are equitable, compliant, and forward-thinking. Our process emphasizes collaboration. We work closely with community stakeholders, task forces, and municipal leaders to identify core problems, gather public input, and develop practical, cost-effective strategies that align with each community’s vision. The result is a clear, actionable roadmap for improving parking availability, accessibility, and overall user experience. Using this data, F&V projects future parking demand and evaluates a full range of solutions, including restriping or reconfiguring lots, exploring property acquisition, assessing parking ramp feasibility, integrating paid parking systems, enhancing wayfinding and non-motorized infrastructure, and recommending regulatory or enforcement changes.

Geographic Information Systems

The power of data and location.

F&V’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) experts gather, manage and analyze a variety of data to create an interactive, useful, and user-friendly computer-based GIS customized specifically for our clients. Our approach is to carefully listen to our clients to better understand their goals and create a cost-effective GIS to meet current and future needs. We carefully consider current software and hardware solutions available and recommend solutions that fit best with our clients’ needs and resources, knowing that there is not a one-size-fits-all GIS solution. We understand that for GIS to be useful, it needs to be accessible and easy to manage. F&V’s approach includes leveraging the latest innovative technologies including ESRI and AutoDesk software, cloud-based GIS solutions, mobile technology, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and beyond to get GIS into the hands of those who need it the most and provide an easy-to-manage system. Our GIS services include: • Initial creation of a GIS, including software, hardware, and data assistance • Data collection/compilation, including field collection and incorporating available information • Field data collection and GIS integration to support informed planned, analysis, and decision-making • Linking imagery, including video, photographs, and other electronic formats • Creating and modifying zoning and parcel maps • Mapping and data management for analysis and maintenance of infrastructure and utilities

Downtown Parking Plan St. Joseph, Michigan

During the warmer months of the year, high demand for public parking in downtown St. Joseph is a significant issue. Parking spaces on downtown city streets and in the City’s off-street parking lots often fill early in the day and remain heavily used late into the evening. The 2020 St. Joseph Downtown Vision Master Plan recommended that “The City should establish a strategy for paid parking in certain areas of Downtown St. Joseph…” with the stated goals being to “…help create parking turnover, better distribute parking, and fund necessary maintenance and improvements.” Walker was hired to help the City develop a plan to introduce seasonal paid parking downtown, in accordance with the recommendations of the Master Plan. As part of the project, Walker: • Met with downtown business owners, residents, employees, and others to discuss the rationale behind managed parking and hear input on concerns that would need to be addressed. • Consulted with the Downtown Development Authority’s Parking Subgroup throughout the process. • Worked closely with the City Manager, representatives from Public Safety, and other City staff to develop the nuts-and-bolts of the plan. • Evaluated best practices from other Michigan cities and communities across the country that could be applied in St. Joseph.

Solutions Provided • Developed the basics of the paid parking program, including: • Identifying which facilities should be free and which should be paid. • Parking rates and fees. • Time limits. • Hours of enforcement. • Accommodations for downtown employees and residents. • Opined on signage and wayfinding improvements. • Estimated parking revenue, operating expenses, and program startup capital costs. • Developed informational materials and FAQs to assist with the program rollout. • Provided ongoing support during City Commission meetings. • Provided guidance on EV charging, parking facility maintenance, ongoing program management, and other topics.

County of Saginaw Campus Parking and Wayfinding Study Saginaw, Michigan

The County of Saginaw Campus (Campus) is home to the Saginaw County Governmental Center/Courthouse (Courthouse), which houses most of the departments and agencies that perform and carry out the services of the County of Saginaw government. Also located on the Campus in adjacent buildings are 911 Central Dispatch, Michigan Department of Corrections, and the Sherriff’s Department and County Jail facility. The Campus experiences high levels of activity because of the functions it serves, and parking needs on the Campus have grown and changed over time. The roads surrounding and running through the Campus, as well as the parking facilities serving the Campus, have very poor traffic circulation and ADA accessibility. Vehicular wayfinding signage and parking identification signage are confusing or nonexistent, as is pedestrian wayfinding signage on Campus. Finally, County employees often misuse visitor parking, leaving visitors to park on the fringes of the Campus, park illegally, or park in reserved employee spaces. Walker was hired to help the County address these issues.

Solutions Provided • Developed conceptual designs for new vehicular directional, parking facility identification, and pedestrian directional signage. • Identified key decision points along the main roadways leading to the Campus, and within the Campus, for new/upgraded signage. • Recommended improvements to parking-related information provided on juror summons and the County’s website. • Proposed technology solutions to reinstitute paid visitor parking to help reduce misuse of these facilities. • Recommended reallocating parking facilities among user groups to improve access and the visitor experience. • Proposed changes to the layouts of existing parking lots to improve traffic flow, add a designated pickup/drop-off area, and increase the ADA parking on the Campus. • Provided the County with a methodical implementation plan, including high-level costs, to help guide the implementation process.

City of Wauwatosa Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

The City of Wauwatosa engaged Walker to perform multiple planning studies to address parking policy, enforcement, and current and future parking needs in the North Avenue commercial and residential corridor, Wauwatosa East High School and Tosa East Neighborhood.

Key Features • Wauwatosa’s new development, robust business community, and overall attractiveness have increased the demand for public parking. • Development plans include displacing surface parking and creating additional demand, requiring operations, policy, and construction solutions. • Residents in neighborhoods adjacent to Wauwatosa East High School and high-activity commercial corridors compete for limited on-street parking access with visitors, students, and employees. • Enforcement policies, practices, and technology need to adapt to changing parking characteristics to increase compliance and citation management.

Solutions Provided • Industry best practices for gaining operational efficiencies and improving the resident, employee, and visitor level of service. • Short and long-range parking demand projections identified areas with a parking surplus or deficit. • Performed a turnover analysis to determine the average length of stay. • Simplified time restrictions to better support community access and alignment with turnover data. • Technology improvements for more efficient enforcement with limited enforcement staff. • Implementation plan for developing a residential parking permit program. • On-street parking guidelines and stall dimensions to improve access and residential driveway access.

Kent St. Downtown Parking Study Portland, Michigan Project Information Study Completed: 2023 The City of Portland received MDOT Small Urban funding to reconstruct Kent Street between Academy Street and Grand River Avenue in 2023. As part of this reconstruction project, the City was considering widening the sidewalks on Kent Street and converting the existing angle parking to parallel parking spaces as well as other configurations. F&V performed an evaluation of all available public parking within the downtown to determine if there is adequate parking capacity to offset the impact of converting the diagonal parking spaces to parallel parking. Our staff also sought public feedback through surveys and community engagement events to make sure our work aligned with community needs and values. The results of the study concluded: • The change from diagonal to parallel parking would reduce the onstreet parking by 23 parking spaces on Kent Street • The impact of the change in parking supply was evaluated and shows that the projected on-street parking utilization with the proposed 60 parallel spaces will be 67%, which is still below the recommended threshold of 85% parking utilization • An increase in parking demand of 75% during the weekday and 160% increase on Saturday can be accommodated within the downtown without additional parking required • Kent Street and Maple Street were reviewed to consider making these roadways one-way pairs. The addition of one-way streets here would increase the capacity where none is required, which results in the potential for higher speeds and increased crashes. Additionally, one-way streets would limit access to the downtown and create unnecessary congestion.

Client Reference Andrew Dymczyk City Manager citymanager@portland-michigan.org

• The redesign on Kent Street provides the opportunity to construct ADA compliant on-street parking. This will provide more access throughout the downtown for patrons that currently use the ADA parking in the off-street parking lots.

River St. Traffic and Parking Study Manistee, Michigan Project Information Date Completed: 2023 The City of Manistee, through their Development Plan and Tax Increment Financing Plan, envisioned creating a downtown social district to make the historic downtown more inviting and cohesive. F&V provided traffic and parking analysis for the streetscape project, engaging the community and key stakeholders throughout the design process. The traffic analysis included the evaluating of converting River Street from a one-way street to two-way operation. The study included the data collection throughout the downtown and the development of a Synchro model to evaluate the change in operations. Additionally, future development plans were included in the evaluation to determine the impact of the potential trip generation and the impact to the one-way to two-way conversion and intersection operations. The parking study was performed to determine the existing available parking in the DDA and identify if and where there are existing parking deficiencies in the downtown. This was used to identify the need for additional parking and mitigation strategies to encourage the use of existing available parking and provide more parking for higher turn over areas. F&V’s study, completed in late September 2023, recommends the approval of the one-way to two-way conversion with the following interaction and roadway improvements: • Metered parking spaces in the downtown and additional wayfinding to downtown parking areas • Upgrade the signalized intersection at River Street and Maple Street to accommodate two-way traffic volumes on River Street • Update the pavement markings and signage to reflect two-way operations • Convert the section of River Street between Water Street and Pine Street to a pedestrian only facility

Downtown Pedestrian Study and Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan Northville, Michigan Project Information Date Completed: 2023 F&V, in partnership with the City of Northville, completed a downtown pedestrian study and developed a neighborhood traffic management plan for the City of Northville. The City of Northville had adopted the seasonal closure (April to November) for two sections of roadway in the downtown to vehicular traffic: Center Street from Main Street to Dunlap Street, and Main Street from Center Street to Hutton Street, creating pedestrian only zones. The creation of the downtown pedestrian zones increased pedestrian activity throughout the City of Northville. The City requested a study to evaluate and provide recommendations for improvements that included two parts: 1. Downtown Pedestrian Study, which included an evaluation of the pedestrian safety within an approximately 1,200 foot radius of Center Street and Main Street. 2. Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan for the non-arterial roads between 7 Mile and 8 Mile, and between Rogers Street and S. Main Street/Northville Road. The study included a field review and pedestrian facilities audit, safety analysis, traffic control review, truck routing, and traffic volume and speed data collection, and community engagement to gather feedback on how this would impact key stakeholders and community members. Final deliverables for this project included: • Downtown Pedestrian Study including Pedestrian and Safety Recommendations • GIS Database of Existing Signing and Speed and Traffic Volume Data • Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan

Project Understanding and Approach

Project Approach Learn Our planning process begins by learning from the people who live, work, and play in your community every day. We begin each project by learning as much as we can about your unique circumstances from you, your staff, community stakeholders, and existing data sources. We also strive to communicate throughout our planning processes to hear people’s real concerns, generate buy-in for our plans, and build trust with the people who will be impacted daily by the changes that are implemented. Observe and Experience It is impossible to truly understand how people perceive their environment without experiencing it firsthand. That is why our project team spends time walking around your community, observing traffic and parking access, exploring your downtown environment, and observing how people move through and interact with your unique location. Understand We tailor solutions to your unique circumstances and built environment by applying what we’ve learned to develop a cohesive understanding of the challenges you, your organization, and community face. Strategize Strategy development aligns your organization’s and community’s specific needs with our extensive expertise in developing and implementing solutions that enhance people’s experiences and foster engagement with their environment. Listen and Adapt We focus on implementation. After presenting our proposed solutions and hearing your feedback on the realistic prospects of acceptance, we adapt our recommendations and their phasing to focus on actionable steps. Communicate We work with your organization to develop a strategy for communicating findings and recommendations to the broader community. Customized informational documents are disseminated through accessible communication channels to help convey our shared vision for improving your community.

Project Understanding Like many communities in southwest Michigan, Saugatuck is a seasonal destination for vacationers from across Michigan, the Chicagoland area, and beyond. However, unlike many cities in this part of Michigan, Saugatuck is also a year-round destination, with visitor demand driven by the vibrant art scene, abundant dining and entertainment options, outdoor activities, events, and more. Because of Saugatuck’s popularity, the City has dealt with both real and perceived parking problems for years. The City is seeking a consultant who can collaborate with the new Parking Improvements Task Force (“Task Force”), drawing on the consultant’s knowledge and experience in other communities, to address these issues with solutions that fit Saugatuck’s unique needs and character. To that end, the team of Walker Consultants and Fleis & Vandenbrink has developed the following work plan to make this project a success.

Work Plan Task 1. Project Coordination and Problem Identification As highlighted by our planning approach, learning about your city and its unique needs is the first step toward developing a successful plan to address your parking and transportation problems. Despite our team’s personal and professional connections to Saugatuck, nothing will substitute for the knowledge we can gain through close coordination with the Task Force, other City staff, community stakeholders, and the public. This knowledge transfer, along with ongoing coordination between the Walker team, the Task Force, and the City, will be accomplished by the Walker team as follows: 1. Participate in a project kickoff meeting with City staff to confirm the proposed project timeline, including tentative dates for field data collection, project deliverable due dates, possible stakeholder engagement events, and key Task Force and City Council meeting dates. a. During the kickoff meeting, begin discussing the core parking/ transportation problems and concerns, and any existing data that might be useful for the Walker team’s work. The Walker team will develop a request for information and submit that to the City in advance of the kickoff meeting. b. Additionally, during the kickoff meeting, clear communication protocols and the schedule for regular check-in calls will be established.

Work Plan 2. Participate in a separate project kickoff meeting with the Task Force to gain further insights into the parking/ transportation problems in Saugatuck and define the core problems that need to be addressed as part of this project. For Task Force members who cannot attend the kickoff meeting, the Walker team will schedule follow-up conference calls to gather their input. 3. Throughout the project, participate in up to eight (8) Task Force meetings to discuss project progress, present our findings, discuss potential solutions, receive feedback, and refine our recommendations. a. The tentative schedule for these meetings will be determined during the Task Force kickoff meeting and adjusted as needed throughout the project. b. The project kickoff meeting identified in Task 1.2 is included in the eight (8) total Task Force Meetings. c. In addition to the kickoff meeting, the Walker team anticipates participating in person at one (1) additional Task Force meeting, with the remaining six (6) Task Force meetings conducted virtually. 4. In coordination with the appropriate City staff/Task Force members, finalize and implement the Walker team’s planned community engagement strategy, which is intended to include: a. Developing a web-based questionnaire to collect quantitative and qualitative information regarding stakeholders’ parking and transportation habits and interests, with the City advertising the survey through its existing communications channels. b. Facilitating one (1) public meeting in an open house setting to: i.

Elicit opinions and thoughts from stakeholder groups regarding parking and transportation.

ii. Inform the public by delivering educational presentations that enlighten the participants about parkingrelated issues, including the costs to provide parking, the costs of parking subsidies, and case studies of successful parking practices embraced by other communities. This open house meeting could also be replaced with a Walker-hosted table at a community event at which community members could offer their feedback and hear from the team about best practices in parking and transportation that may be desirable for Saugatuck. c. Conducting up to five (5) virtual meetings with downtown business owners, cultural institutions, residents, or other interest groups not represented on the Task Force. Task 1 Deliverables • Detailed problem definition and community feedback summary report.

Work Plan Task 2. Parking Inventory and Mapping In addition to the experiences of the people who live, work, and play in Saugatuck, our team must also have a thorough knowledge of the physical makeup of the City’s parking and transportation assets in order to be qualified to recommend improvements. The Walker team will complete the following tasks to understand this physical context: 1. Conduct a comprehensive inventory and detailed mapping of all public and private parking locations and spaces in Saugatuck east of the Kalamazoo River. a. In addition to the location and number of parking spaces, the Walker team will record posted time limits, user restrictions, and ownership, where possible. b. For the purposes of this proposal, the Walker team has assumed that driveways, garages, and other parking areas associated with singleand multi-family residential properties will be excluded from this task. 2. Based on discussions with City staff and the Task Force, as well as our own observations of parking dynamics, the Walker team will determine if parking facilities adjacent to, but outside the city limits of Saugatuck, may impact the parking and transportation dynamics within the city. a. If it is determined that there are parking facilities outside the city limits that meet this criterion, the Walker team will inventory and map these facilities. b. Even if there are no parking facilities outside the city limits that appear to impact the dynamics in Saugatuck today, the Walker team will attempt to identify parking facilities that have the potential to impact the parking and transportation dynamics in Saugatuck in the future. i.

If they exist, these facilities will not be included in the GIS database provided to the City, but will be noted elsewhere in the documentation provided to the City.

3. Document infrastructure serving alternative modes of transportation, including transit stops and routes, bike lanes, designated ride-sharing pick-up/drop-off (PUDO) zones (if any), and commercial loading zones in the public right-ofway. Task 2 Deliverables • Comprehensive parking inventory and mapping, including relative locations of bus stops and bike lanes, in a GIS-compatible format. • Parking inventory maps and summary data for inclusion in later project deliverables.

Task 3. Parking Needs Analysis The next step in the project process will be for our team to develop a clear understanding of current and future parking demand conditions in the city. During the Parking Needs Analysis task, the Walker team will assess current and anticipated future parking conditions in Saugatuck, including seasonal changes in demand and considerations for ADA parking. 35

Work Plan Current parking dynamics will be documented through counts of parked vehicles and analyses of vehicle durations of stay and parking space turnover. The occupancy counts will then be compared to the current parking supply to determine the estimated parking adequacy on a block-by-block basis. Some of the questions that need to be resolved during this task include: • What is the current parking demand vs. the current parking supply? • Is there a surplus or deficit, and where do these conditions occur? • What will parking conditions be like in the future? • Is additional parking required? If so, how much? • Who needs additional parking? The Walker team will also solicit input from the City and Task Force during this task to understand how existing land uses in Saugatuck might change in the future through development and redevelopment activity. Using this information, our team will compare the projections of future parking demand to the existing parking supply to determine anticipated future parking adequacy. To complete the Parking Needs Analysis, the Walker team will undertake the following tasks: 1. Request and review current land use information, including any available information on current vacancy rates of existing commercial properties. 2. Request and review available information related to in-progress, planned, and proposed development or redevelopment projects expected to occur in Saugatuck over the next five (5) years. 3. Conduct parking occupancy counts of all public and private, commercial parking in the area bounded by the Kalamazoo River, Lucy Street, Holland Street, Francis Street, and Elizabeth Street (including the parking lots serving Saugatuck High School) on one (1) weekday and one (1) Saturday during the summer (i.e., June – August), and one (1) Saturday during the off-season (September – May), avoiding major holidays or large events. The proposed parking occupancy data collection area is shown in the graphic below. a. The number of parked vehicles in each off-street parking facility and in each on-street parking area will be documented at least once every two (2) hours from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. b. The Walker team will also note the number of occupied ADA spaces in each location to better understand the use and availability of ADA parking throughout the city. This proposal and scope of work assume the collection of parking activity data will occur in 2026. However, the parking inventory documentation and other project tasks can move forward without interruption.

Work Plan 4. Document parking turnover and duration of stay for up to 30 on-street parking spaces along the main commercial corridors in downtown Saugatuck to determine if drivers are abiding by posted time limits and to identify if changing the way on-street spaces are managed and enforced could improve access to businesses. a. Specific days, times, and locations for this data collection will be determined in collaboration with the City/Task Force. 5. Determine the surplus or shortfall of parking in the city under current conditions and create tabular and graphic illustrations of parking adequacy. 6. Develop estimates of future parking demand impacts from the known in-progress, planned, and proposed development and redevelopment projects, and overlay those onto the analysis of current parking adequacy to quantify potential future parking surpluses and shortfalls. a. Develop up to two (2) future demand projections that represent different planning assumptions. b. Prepare assumption sheets for each scenario. Task 3 Deliverables • Parking needs analysis report, including: • Visual representations of current and projected future block-by-block parking adequacy. • Seasonal analysis of parking supply and demand. • Existing ADA parking supply and demand analysis. • On-street parking space turnover and vehicle duration of stay analysis. • Database of detailed parking occupancy data by off-street facility and street segment.

Task 4. Policies, Practices, and Organizational Structure Review A review of parking policies and practices, and the staffing used to manage the parking system, includes an objective look at the rules governing parking and the activities the City employs to enforce these rules. The goal of this phase is to provide a professional outsider’s perspective with the aim of helping the City maximize its parking system and service offerings. This task is intended to answer a myriad of questions, including: • Are on-street parking time limits, days, and hours of enforcement appropriate? • Are current parking enforcement practices effective? • Does the City have adequate staff to manage the day-to-day operations of the parking system? • Is technology being used to enhance the effectiveness of the parking operation? • Is the City’s zoning ordinance supporting economic development and protecting property owners’ rights? Is it minimizing waste and promoting sustainability? • How can the City’s parking operation be the best it can be?

Work Plan The following tasks will be completed by the Walker team to help answer these questions: 1. Obtain and review City parking policies, practices, and ordinances related to parking. 2. Review the City’s organizational structure and the staffing associated with its parking assets. 3. Meet with the City staff members tasked with enforcing parking regulations, processing parking citations, maintaining parking assets, and planning relative to parking and transportation. 4. Evaluate on-street time limits and hours and days of enforcement relative to the city’s land uses and to peer cities. 5. Evaluate existing parking enforcement technology, if any. Task 4 Deliverables • Policy, practice, technology, and organizational structure recommendations to be included in the draft and final parking plan documents.

Task 5. Wayfinding, Signage, and Communications Evaluation If visitors to Saugatuck are unable to quickly and easily navigate to and identify viable parking and transportation alternatives, this can lead to confusion, frustration, unnecessary traffic congestion, and potential conflicts between drivers and pedestrians navigating the city. Effective wayfinding, signage, and informational materials can go a long way to improving the visitor experience of those coming to Saugatuck, while also helping to maximize the use of the existing parking and transportation infrastructure in the city. To understand how Saugatuck’s wayfinding, signage, and communications relative to parking and transportation alternatives might be improved, the Walker team will: 1. Conduct an on-site review of existing wayfinding, parking facility, and destination identification signage to develop a working knowledge of various travel modes and how people navigate Saugatuck. 2. Identify different user groups and major destinations within Saugatuck. 3. Identify key decision points within the city and map the potential locations for additional signs, removal of existing signs, or modifications to existing signs. 4. Review and evaluate existing informational materials produced/maintained by the City related to parking and transportation alternatives, including the City’s website, to ensure information is current and to identify areas that need to be updated/improved.

Work Plan Task 5 Deliverables • Wayfinding, signage, and communications recommendations to be included in the draft and final parking plan document. • Examples of best practices in signage and wayfinding, illustrated with images and high-level graphics.

Task 6. Evaluation of Options and Costs Based on the data and insights gained over the course of the project, relying on our team’s expertise, the next step is to develop and evaluate potential solutions to address the parking and transportation challenges faced by the Saugatuck community. This includes solutions to address both current problems and issues that may arise in the future as the city grows and changes. Along with the potential solutions, it will be important for City staff, the Task Force, City Council, and other stakeholders to understand the costs, timing, and other considerations associated with each solution to properly evaluate which solutions should be implemented. 1. To address the parking and transportation challenges faced by the Saugatuck community, the Walker team will consider, at a minimum: a. Potential changes to on-street time limits, hours, and days of enforcement. b. Adjustments to parking enforcement policies, procedures, and technology. c. Changes to current zoning ordinances, parking requirements, and other relevant regulations. d.

Team Member Roles and Responsibilities We have assembled a qualified team of professionals with years of experience in parking planning and analysis to perform the services listed in the City of Saugatuck’s RFP. The following briefly describes the anticipated roles and responsibilities of each project team member. Eric Haggett, LEED Green Associate, will be the Project Manager for this engagement. He will lead the day-to-day coordination efforts for the Walker team and the City of Saugatuck and will participate in all project meetings. He will provide technical input throughout the project, as well as be responsible for making sure that the budget and schedule requirements are met. Eric is a parking industry veteran with more than 17 years of downtown parking and mobility planning experience in large and small communities across the country, as well as significant experience in municipal parking finance. John Dorsett, AICP, Managing Director of Walker’s Planning, Operations, and Technology group, will serve as Principal-in-Charge, providing overall guidance on the project and reviewing project deliverables for completeness. He will specifically ensure that Walker’s quality standards are adhered to and achieved. With 40+ years of experience in the industry, John will also provide guidance and insights gained from his work in hundreds of other communities. Our team has two Parking and Mobility Planners supporting Eric’s efforts throughout the project engagement, Andrew Baglini and Bobby Mordenti, M.U.D. Andrew will lead data collection and analysis and assist with all other aspects of the project. Andrew has a background in urban and regional planning and regularly performs data collection and analyses, conducts public engagement, and develops parking policy recommendations. Bobby will support the team’s data collection and analysis efforts, lead the evaluation of the City’s current wayfinding and signage, and use his considerable skills with visual communications to enhance Walker’s project deliverables and public engagement materials. Kenzie Coulson and Chrissy Mancini-Nichols will serve as technical advisors on the project. In a previous role, Kenzie helped launch paid parking in Park City, Utah, giving her a unique perspective on the challenges cities can face when moving toward paid parking. Chrissy, Walker’s National Director of Curb Management and New Mobility, is one of the leading experts in innovative policy and technology for managing curb demand. Both Kenzie and Chrissy will be involved in the development and evaluation of recommendations for improving the City of Saugatuck’s parking system. Our partners on this project from Fleis & VandenBrink, Julie Kroll, PE, PTOE, Jon Moxey, PE, and Sam Lipscomb, along with their staff, will provide support throughout the project process. In particular, Fleis & VandenBrink will support Walker with data collection, public engagement, development of GIS-based deliverables, and evaluation of existing and potential new off-street parking facilities. This team will also be crucial as we develop our deliverables and external communications materials that will be shared with the public.

Proposal for the City of Saugatuck Consulting Services for Parking Study and Solutions Saugatuck has a long history of being an inclusive and welcoming coastal West Michigan city rooted in the arts. Ranked #3 in USA Today’s 10 best readers’ choice poll for the best small-town arts scene and in the top 25 for the best beaches in the USA by Conde Nast Traveler, Saugatuck’s reputation makes it a highly desirable destination for businesses, residents, and tourists alike. Although the shoreline and beauty haven’t changed much over the 152 years since the Village of Saugatuck was incorporated, the landscape of the City itself has significantly evolved, bringing with it parking pressure. The Lonely Planet website even refers to this demand in their article “The 23 best beaches in the USA,” highlighting Oval Beach’s short distance from downtown and easy accessibility by car, though advising the parking lot fills up fast. The City Council acknowledges this dilemma and has been actively discussing community concerns for a few years. While great ideas have emerged from these discussions, the City is demonstrating its reputation for inclusivity again by forming formed a Parking Improvements Task Force comprised of key community members to work in tandem with a team of practitioners specialized in parking planning. A key component of this study is the representation of all voices in the community and a holistic examination of the various travel modes and opportunities for improvements and/or expansion of the system across the City. While solutions for managing seasonal demand are a critical element of this study, ADA compliance and reviewing the regulatory framework are also important.

VILLAGE OF WILMETTE, ILLINOIS

CITY OF CEDAR FALLS, IOWA

CITY OF HUDSON, NEW YORK

Downtown Parking Study Wilmette, a historic North Shore community on Lake Michigan, features a vibrant downtown that serves as the village’s core. With a mix of shops, restaurants, music stores, a theater, and other services, it draws frequent visitors — 75% of survey respondents reported visiting at least weekly. Recent multi-family residential developments have further boosted activity and foot traffic.

Downtown Parking Study Cedar Falls experienced significant new development opportunities; and businesses, residents, and stakeholders were concerned the existing parking was insufficient to support additional growth.

Parking Improvement Feasibility Study Hudson, the oldest city in America, is undergoing a transformation from an aging industrial river town into the choice visitor destination in the Hudson Valley. Hudson initiated a parking improvement study to address the critical parking deficit in the landlocked city. A lack of long-term, short-term, daily, and hourly parking was adversely impacting the ability of residents and visitors to access the central business district, recreation sites, public service centers, and other important destinations.

This popularity, along with strong Metra rail usage to Chicago, has led to consistently crowded public parking. A comprehensive study reviewed policies on time limits, enforcement, employee parking, and hours of operation, supported by GIS-based data on occupancy and turnover. Recommendations included expanding employee permit access in key off-street lots, adjusting enforcement hours and frequency, and improving signage to help visitors find available parking more easily.

The parking study included extensive public outreach efforts, parking impact analyses on new development projects, and a review of the entire public parking operation. The study revealed additional public parking capacity in the form of structured parking would be needed to support additional future development activity. The City Council voted unanimously to direct staff to implement all recommendations included in the final report document.

“We received a far more comprehensive study than we anticipated. A great value to the City.” Tom DiPietro Hudson City Council President

Fishbeck conducted a study that analyzed the current conditions and considered how to develop safer, more accessible parking throughout the City. The final plan recommendations addressed the parking shortage and built a framework for effective management and flexibility for the future. Incorporating mobility options with increased utilization of all parking, public, and private, Hudson can adapt and grow while maintaining the character of the historic city.

CITY OF BERKLEY, MICHIGAN

CITY OF LA PORTE, INDIANA

CITY OF MT. PLEASANT, MICHIGAN

Parking Study and Strategic Plan Berkley is known for walkable family neighborhoods surrounded by vibrant commercial corridors. City-wide parking concerns spurred the need for a parking strategic plan with a focus on downtown and the surrounding neighborhood.

Trails, Greenways, and Blueways Master Plan The Master Plan, adopted on October 16, 2023, aims to improve non-motorized transportation through a connected network of sidewalks, bikeways, and blueways. Developed with strong public input — surveys, audits, and workshops — the plan promotes health, recreation, and accessibility for all residents.

Parking Operations Review Located in Central Michigan’s Isabella County, Mt. Pleasant features a traditional downtown, active business corridors, historic neighborhoods, and a rich park system along the Chippewa River. The City is home to Central Michigan University, Mid-Michigan Community College, and two of the region’s leading health and hospital centers.

Led by McKenna, the plan focuses on connecting neighborhoods, parks, and businesses, improving safety at intersections, and expanding recreational options. It also stresses education and enforcement to encourage safe walking, biking, and paddling.

To support its mobility plan, partnered with McKenna to engage the community and develop a robust, action-oriented connected mobility plan. Through a week-long charrette and various public engagement activities, McKenna crafted recommendations for the City’s transportation system and its integration with public space design. This included analysis of street and intersection typologies and innovative mobility strategies.

Current parking demand, projected future demand, and administrative policy were studied to develop a plan to serve the entire community. Public input included an open house, online data collection, and stakeholder interviews. The final strategic plan incorporated GIS data, a zoning update, and a comprehensive plan that addressed parking supply and operational efficiency. The plan also included updated policies related to parking enforcement, overnight parking, free versus paid parking, demand management, and alternative transportation.

Challenges include major road barriers, deteriorating sidewalks, and high-traffic areas. To overcome these, McKenna proposed strategies like prioritizing short-term projects, securing funding through local policies and state grants, and tracking progress. The plan was shaped in collaboration with city officials, stakeholders, and the community to make La Porte more pedestrianand cyclist-friendly.

McKenna’s future transportation plan aims to connect Mt. Pleasant’s key parks, commercial districts, and employers, creating intuitive routes for driving, public transit, walking, and biking throughout the City.

03 Project Understanding and Approach 117

FISHBECK | PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH | 11

Project Understanding and Approach Understanding the Challenge The City of Saugatuck has been recognized as a destination City for over 100 years, drawing tourists for generations due to its welcoming embrace of the unconventional as well as its natural beauty. The City has been prominently on the must visit destination map for decades and experiences repeat tourism in addition to new tourist growth creating a compounded parking challenge. The influx of seasonal residents, employees, and tourists alike has generated many conversations with City stakeholders over the years for how to best address and prioritize the parking demand experienced. While the community hosts an on-demand transportation service and encourages walking and biking, any shifts in utilization haven’t made a significant impact on the demand for parking. The City wants a partner working in tandem with the Parking Improvements Task Force to provide a parking inventory analysis and set of recommendations for consideration around additional capacity opportunities, regulation modifications inclusive of enforcement practices, and opportunities for enhancements to wayfinding and multi-modal connections. Consistent and regular communication with the Parking Improvements Task Force and a multipronged public engagement approach is also a critical component of the work.

Methodology and Approach The Fishbeck team will work with City staff and the Parking Improvements Task Force to evaluate current and future parking needs integrating data mapping with community feedback to deliver a set of final reports inclusive of any recommended changes or proposed programmatic implementations or expansion opportunities.

Conduct a goals prioritization process meeting with the Parking Improvements Task Force. The goal prioritization will be for the outcome of the parking study, but more importantly to understand the larger community, economic, sustainability, and development goals of the City. Prioritizing goals will shape final recommendations and directly impacts implementation.

Establish a meeting cadence with the Parking Improvements Task Force to ensure that engagements are occurring on a frequent basis and a schedule conducive to the majority availability. The Fishbeck project team will be available to attend meetings conducted either in person or virtually as desired and meeting notes will be provided.

Provide project management throughout the study, including regular update calls and project coordination. The calls provide City staff with updates on milestones, schedules, upcoming deliverables, outstanding data needs, and overall project progress. The updates ensure that City staff will always know the project’s status.

Review existing data, reports, and previous or future planning and development projects such as: ● Any available parking inventory maps.

DETAILED WORK PLAN Task 1 – Project Coordination and Problem Identification 1.

Conduct a kickoff meeting with City staff and project team. This group will work directly with the Fishbeck team to ensure tasks are completed fully and on schedule. The Fishbeck team will meet or talk regularly to review progress and suggest changes to the approach as conditions might dictate.

FISHBECK | PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH | 12

● Capital Improvement Plans.

Task 2: Data Collection and Parking Inventory

● Economic Development Strategic Plans.

INVENTORY EXISTING PARKING

● Current parking related codes, zoning requirements and development standards. ● Parking enforcement policies, staffing, technology and number of citations issued. ● Bicycle, pedestrian and other alternative transportation initiatives. ● Transit ridership data and routes. ● Available information concerning current TDM policies or programs. ● Available information concerning special events in the study area (e.g. number of events, typical attendance levels, parking lot closures, street closures and event planning/staging).

1. Review existing parking inventory from the City for the study area within City limits and east of the Kalamazoo River. If the City or Parking Improvements Task Force wants to enlarge or reduce the study areas, we can make those adjustments as part of the final agreement. 2. We will complete GIS mapping of the parking and mobility assets in the parking study area. GIS mapping will be used to digitally record the locations of the following parking and transit assets: ● Off-street public parking owned by the City (noting ADA parking locations).

ENGAGEMENT GROUPS

● Off-street private parking lots utilized by commercial properties (parking for homes excluded).

Parking Improvements Task Force and City project staff.

● On-street public parking.

General public: To build consensus for any plan of this type, outreach should begin early and should cast a broad net.

● On-street ADA spaces. ● Time limits and use restrictions. ● Bus/transit stops.

INPUT FORUMS

● Loading zone locations.

● No parking areas.

Public Workshops: To allow attendees to share their ideas within a structured and informed setting, meetings will consist of a public open house and small group sessions of stakeholder groups of like interests (i.e., restaurant, retail, residents). The Fishbeck team will be responsible for providing meeting content and materials, including presentation boards, PowerPoint presentations, base maps, etc.

● Bike racks. 3. Prepare the parking inventory in the GIS mapping data and format. A formatted spreadsheet compiling the parking assets will also be provided.

Fishbeck will develop a parking and mobility online survey geared toward residents, employees, and visitors in the City of Saugatuck. The goal is to identify barriers and challenges to existing parking and mobility conditions within the project area. We will provide a QR code for community leaders, stakeholders, and the media to share that provides direct access to the survey. Consultants will monitor the progress of survey responses. The results of the survey will inform further outreach options and final recommendations.

FISHBECK | PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH | 13

PARKING USAGE OBSERVATIONS AND ANALYSIS 1. Collect vehicle accumulation data throughout the project area to address seasonal demand needs, as well as the need for businesses, restaurants, and residents during non-seasonal times. Data collection will occur for onstreet parking, public off-street parking, and private off-street parking that is open for public use. The Parking Improvements Task Force will contribute to identifying key observation periods and locations with the following scope proposed: ● Data collection will take place on a selected weekday and weekend day during peak tourism season. ● Data collection will take place on a selected weekday and weekend day during the tourism off-season. ● Observing parking patterns at different times of the day provides valuable insights into peak usage periods, turnover rates, and parking demand fluctuations. This information will assist the team as we identify trends, assess capacity needs, and develop strategies to optimize parking availability and management. Additional counts can be available if desired, and can be negotiated with the contract. 2. Occupancy and utilization information in graphic form to include “heat maps” that visually illustrate parking occupancies in an aerial map form. 3. Conduct visual observation of pedestrian walking patterns and connections to parking areas and transit stops. 4. Observe bicycle infrastructure, availability, and ease of access. 5. Review overall ADA accessibility throughout the study area. Note general availability and ease of use. Comment on specific locations that appear out of compliance or needing modifiction. 6. Review signage messaging, branding, and location for effectiveness and visibility. 7. Review parking enforcement signage and compare to tickets issued and locations of issuance, and visual observations of compliance. 8. Review existing websites, maps, brochures and wayfinding signage as it relates to parking and provide recommendations for potential improvements. 9. Provide examples of successful parking marketing programs we have observed throughout the country that could be leveraged in Saugatuck.

Task 3: Parking Needs Analysis PROJECTION OF FUTURE PARKING NEEDS 1.

Develop order of magnitude estimates of future parking sufficiency based on current capacity, projected land uses, and application of parking demand ratios. Sufficiency estimates will include modeling to account for shared parking opportunities as they are available throughout the study area.

Review any pipeline projects to determine parking needs and the impact of projects on the overall parking situation in the area.

Consider how zoning requirements within the study area may impact current and future parking demand.

Identify opportunities for non-parking infrastructure to mitigate parking demand. Pedestrian, bicycle, and transit options will be considered.

Compare the projected parking demand against the existing supply of spaces to determine the adequacy of parking and potential management strategies for the next 5 to 10 years, including ADA accessibility compliance of existing supply and opportunities for improvement.

FISHBECK | PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH | 14

INITIAL FINDINGS REVIEW 1. Upon completion of our observations, data gathering, and public outreach efforts, we will compile an initial finding review: a. Parking occupancy levels. b. Projected future parking demand. c. Need for additional parking facilities. d. Potential parking facility locations. 2. Conduct in-person meeting with the Parking Improvement Task Force to review findings. 3. Develop goals for paid parking or other management structures across the study area. Goals may include: a. High-quality customer experience. b. Meeting financial requirement of the parking system: i. Operations ii. Debt iii. Maintenance iv. Adequate cash reserves c. Planning for future capital expenditures. d. Managing City parking supply and occupancy and supporting enforcement needs.

Task 4: Evaluation of Options and Costs CREATING ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES 1. Identify areas where additional parking is needed to support development and high-activity sub-areas. 2. Quantify the number of parking spaces required in sub-areas to meet projected future parking demand. 3. Potential demand management strategies applicable to Saugatuck. 4. Opportunities to increase on-street parking supply in the study area (either through creating new spaces or reconfiguring existing spaces). 5. Review location opportunities for additional parking, including parking lots or structures.

Optional Services (for an additional fee) 1. Sketches of conceptual parking layout (striping plans) for parking expansion (lots or structures) at up to three chosen locations. Sketches will show potential parking layout, entry/exit locations and other relevant design features. 2. Create estimates of potential facility cost on a cost-per-square-foot and cost-per-space basis: ● Land acquisition. ● Design and engineering services. ● Construction costs. ● Contingency. ADDITIONAL TRANSIT, WAYFINDING AND NONMOTORIZED INFRASTRUCTURE 1. Review the interuban public transportation system to determine its impact on parking demand. Recommendations for potential improvements to the system for increased effectiveness in tandem with any additional parking needs determinations will be provided.

FISHBECK | PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH | 15

2. Develop conseptual sign messages and locations to help drivers find parking quickly and easily, helping to reduce circling for a parking space. ● Regulatory applications – no parking, loading zone, time limits, etc. ● Directing drivers to parking areas. ● Bicycle and pedestrian wayfinding. ● Use standard transportation and parking language and symbols, while incorporating Saugatuck-specific branding. 3. Review the non-motorized and pedestrian infrastructure network and provide recommendations for how to enhance the network to reduce or more effectively distribute parking demand. Maps and conceptual diagrams of the improvements will be provided. PAID PARKING IMPLEMENTATION If deemed necessary due to parking study findings, develop a parking rate strategy for the study area considering onstreet parking, off-street parking, and enforcement fines. 1. Define priorities for the parking system. The goals identified in the initial findings review will serve as a guideline. 2. Identify user groups and community parking needs. Each parking user group (on-street, off-street, permit, etc.) have different needs and a different approach to choosing their parking products: ● Permits for those parking across the City regularly. ● Daily parking. ● Residential parking. ● Deliveries and other quick access needs. ● Relationship between on-street and off-street parking and how rates can impact parking demand and occupancy. 3. Create a comparative cities analysis with four other Michigan municipalities to understand how rates and policies are utilized. The comparison will not only consider the rate amounts, but how rate policy is used to accomplish parking goals in each community. 4. Develop rate strategies that meet the defined goals and also contribute to a good customer experience. 5. Determine if rates should be monolithic across the City or vary to meet the specific occupancy demands in various sub-areas. 6. Provide recommendations on technology needed to implement paid parking. Hardware, online applications, mobile payments and enforcement requirement will be considered. 7. Identify management structure, operational efficiency and customer experience recommendations that would maximize the use of the system for both the users and administrators. CHANGES TO EXISTING REGULATIONS In coordination with the Parking Improvements Task Force based on priorities determined, parking usage data and projections, we will develop parking/zoning code amendments to support the implementation of either paid parking or improvement to parking inventory management.

FISHBECK | PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH | 16

1. Review City’s zoning ordinance to identify any inefficiencies that may be hindering and/or in conflict with the identified study goals as established with the Parking Improvements Task Force. 2. Non-zoning ordinances such as those dealing with rights-of-way, sidewalks, and other policy areas will be reviewed as relevant to parking. 3. An analysis will be conducted of the current parking management systems and the need for additional or improved management systems. 4. Operational recommendations to support the zoning updates will include: ● Parking allocation strategies that support residents, visitors, and employees. ● Pricing and rate strategies to balance residential, visitor, and employee parking. ● Review EV charging priorities and policy and determine if zoning changes should include EV infrastructure. ● Identify opportunities to improve pedestrian and ADA access and safety, and facilitate ease of movement from parking areas to destinations. ● Identifying opportunities where public/private partnerships may improve parking access, customer satisfactions, operations, and parking supply. ● Maximize the use and occupancy of all parking areas to limit paved areas, promote a “park once” mentality, and increase the cohesion of elements. ENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONS 1. In conjunction with the paid parking implementation analysis, provide recommendations for effective enforcement to support the goals identified. 2. Provide a set of recommendations for existing enforcement practices without paid parking to more effectively support the demand fluctuations between peak and off-peak tourism season, which may include: ● Enforcement zones. ● Enforcement days/times. ● Enforcement technology.

Task 5: Summary Report and Deliverables SUMMARY REPORT ● To make information more accessible to the public, Fishbeck will not provide a traditional written report, but rather a summary report of findings and recommendations. The final summary report will focus heavily on graphics, an implementation matrix, and other visual means to communicate current conditions and recommendations for future parking system management. The summary report will include a review of public outreach, final presentation, GIS files, and all collected data. The summary will provide the City an accurate view of the current conditions and a plan for future parking needs. ● A prioritized recommendations matrix. The document will present our findings and recommendations and provide preliminary costs for our recommended improvements, as well as a timeline for implementation. ● A 95% status virtual meeting to discuss recommendations prior to finalizing study. ● Final public presentation to the City Council and general public.

EXPERIENCE VILLAGE OF WILMETTE, ILLINOIS DOWNTOWN PARKING STUDY

The goal of the Village of Wilmette Downtown Parking Study was to address the need for reliable parking options for residents and visitors. Parking infrastructure was developed in GIS and deployed for field inventory and data collection. Fishbeck field personnel utilized Esri’s Field Maps mobile application on iPads to inventory parking options and input parking counts. Real-time quality control and monitoring of the data was conducted through ArcGIS Online. For public outreach, ESRI’s Survey123 was developed, resulting in over 500 entries submitted. Additionally, a custom map application was created for the public to add location specific parking concerns to a map. The study findings were summarized in an interactive Esri Storymap, and custom heat maps of parking occupancy were generated.

CITY OF FERNDALE, MICHIGAN

PARKING STUDY Conducted a comprehensive parking demand analysis to assess the impact of Ferndale’s development and growth on the overall parking system. Collaborated with the community to acquire existing GIS data at the project’s inception. Enhanced the existing parking data within the City system by updating the parking inventory and collecting real-time occupancy data, incorporating details such as time limits, costs, restrictions, ADA spaces, loading zones, transit stops, and delivery vehicle information. Implemented a systematic approach for parking inventory, conducting occupancy counts on various dates and multiple times per day through field staff engagement. Supported field operations by utilizing the ESRI Field Maps app. Developed a web-based experience for field staff, enabling them to input additional data and perform quality control after completing fieldwork. Leveraged data collected in the field to calculate the percentage of occupied spaces based on predefined blocks within the City.

CITY OF CEDAR FALLS, IOWA

DOWNTOWN PARKING FEASIBILITY STUDY Building upon the data collected during the 2018 parking study, we used Cedar Falls’ GIS parking data from several years to enhance our parking demand analysis. The primary objective of the GIS platform and routine vehicle occupancy counts was to construct a dataset that aids in determining the potential need, timing, and location for a new parking facility in the future. To systematically inventory parking, we conducted occupancy counts on various dates and multiple times per day, engaging field staff for comprehensive data collection. This operational effort was streamlined through the utilization of the ESRI Field Maps app. Additionally, we developed a user-friendly web-based experience for field staff, empowering them to input supplementary data and perform quality control upon completing fieldwork. The data collected in the field was leveraged to calculate the percentage of occupied spaces, utilizing predefined blocks within the City for accurate assessment. Furthermore, we utilized the ArcGIS Online proximity tool to create walking time travel plans for specific locations in the town, contributing to the formulation of realistic plans.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Saugatuck has identified certain parking issues requiring attention. They are seeking help to support a newly formed Parking Improvements Task Force to study and address these issues. Saugatuck has been struggling with a perceived shortage of spaces, prime spots occupied by employees, and enforcement of parking rules. Further study of the perception and realities of parking is to be conducted to help formulate effective strategies to guide Saugatuck’s parking future. Mission North has assembled a team of consultants, including Cincar Consulting Group (C2G) and Rich & Associates, bringing specific expertise to bear for the City of Saugatuck. The team brings expertise in parking management, zoning, downtown management, traffic planning, and parking deck design and construction to this effort. We will provide a number of perspectives to assist in developing a sound parking plan that will include three central pillars: •

Public perceptions of parking,

Responsible for the development of the Conceptual Design Report, ITS construction plans, fiber optic splice details and generating cost estimates in PQS. Additional work includes: ITS device verification and field surveys, ITS device layouts, preliminary plan preparation, special provision development, utility conflict matrix, fiber optic splicing and power coordination. Pavement markings for all mainline I-696, service drives, 11 Mile Rd connector, and the Z03 Plaza bridge will be prepared. C2G is responsible for base plan cost estimates, preliminary plan, and final deliverables. Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Road Safety Audit, I-96 at Fruit Ridge Avenue Interchange I-96, Walker, MI: Executed a road safety audit at the I-96 Fruit Ridge interchange in the role of a traffic and safety engineer. Project limits included the interchange as well as Fruit Ridge Avenue and 3 Mile Road. This was a design phase road safety audit where a preferred alternative had already been selected to update the interchange to a diamond interchange and replace the existing two-lane bridge with a five-lane bridge, adding non-motorized accommodations. The road safety audit team was able to find additional items for the design team to consider including but not limited to heavy vehicle issues (truck turning, queues), access management and posted speed limit check, wayfinding issues, and non-motorized considerations. Additional short-term (pre-project being built) and long-term recommendations were provided for the design team. Kalamazoo Downtown Parking and Mobility Advisor, City of Kalamazoo, MI: C2G advised the City of Kalamazoo on parking and mobility in downtown Kalamazoo, specifically evaluating the Michigan Avenue cycle track pilot project. C2G identified and implemented solutions for key challenges, including vehicle encroachment in bike lanes, parking regulations and payment communication, dedicated loading zones, and driveway safety for cyclists. The team also supported broader efforts such as parking mitigations, pedestrian and biker safety improvements, and a wayfinding study to enhance overall mobility and accessibility in the area.

Parking Study for Saugatuck, Michigan

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH The City of Saugatuck is a small city of just under 900 residents. It has a vibrant downtown that draws visitors from all over the Midwest and beyond, and boasts one of the world’s most lauded beaches, Oval Beach on Lake Michigan. Besides its residential population, the City has a large number of second homes, short-term rentals, and hotel rooms. Saugatuck sits on the Kalamazoo River across from the City of Douglas and is bordered by suburban and rural Saugatuck Township on the west and north. The popularity of Saugatuck has created parking pressures that the City has committed to be studied and addressed. Parking plays a critical role in serving residents, businesses, second-home owners, and visitors to Saugatuck. Though critical, parking serves higher goals like economic development, community character, and quality of life. Therefore, parking must always be viewed through the lens of these higher goals. A sound parking strategy is critical to protecting and enhancing those characteristics that make Saugatuck such a great place, and while providing an answer to the question “but where are people going to park?” We plan on engaging members of the community in a few ways. First, we will conduct an online survey to gain insight into resident and visitor perceptions. Second, we will hold an open house, inviting business owners, property owners, and residents. Finally, we will check in with the City Council midway through the process to ensure we are on the right track.

SCOPE OF WORK A. Project Coordination and Problem Identification Work with the Parking Improvements Task Force to identify the various issues related to parking. Tasks 1. Kick off the project with an on-site meeting, where project process and schedule, data needs, and stakeholders are identified. 2. Meet with City officials to discuss how the master plan, zoning, and other ordinances impact parking and development. Also, to understand how parking enforcement is handled. 3. Conduct a community and stakeholder survey in early 2026, using the Survey Monkey platform, to gauge perceptions about parking in Saugatuck.

4. Facilitate stakeholder discussions in early 2026, to gauge perceptions and get first-hand accounts of parking dynamics downtown and elsewhere in the City. 5. Inventory existing transit services within the City. 6. Assess walkability downtown and bikeability throughout the City. 7. Meet with the Parking Improvements Task Force at least nine times to coordinate the study and final report. Deliverables: Existing Conditions and Problem Identification Report, including reporting on engagement results.

B. Parking Inventory and Mapping Map parking spaces and usage for both on and off-street in downtown Saugatuck and the Oval Beach area. Tasks 1. Conduct an inventory of on and off-street parking supply in downtown Saugatuck and the Oval Beach area. 2. Perform parking usage surveys. This will include conducting morning, afternoon, and evening parking counts on one weekday and a weekend day for both off-peak times, and counts for high season in 2026. 3. Inventory barrier-free spaces both on-and off-street Deliverables: Parking inventory and usage maps.

C. Parking Needs Analysis Robustly analyze parking needs in the City with an emphasis on downtown Saugatuck and the Oval Beach area. Tasks 1. Project future development in downtown Saugatuck and assess its parking impact. 2. Analyze parking needs using availability as a key performance indicator, and also considering community perceptions, plans, future development projections, and other factors. 15
