He introduces himself as he took over his position on May 6, 2011.The objective of the plan is to better maximize the use of on-street and off-street public and private parking resources, using both short and long term solutions focused on creating a vibrant, walkable,and economically vital Downtown Louisville. Staff has worked with an advisory committee and led a public involvement process to help determine how to best accomplish this objective. LSAB is the last board to which the presentation is given. The plan comprises 31 proposed projects, an analysis of how each of the projects addresses the objective of the plan, an overview of how the plan affects the downtown parking supply, and an implementation strategy. (The plan was presented to City Council during a study session on Monday, January 10, 2011. The plan can be found on page 133ff. of the study session meeting packet.

Arno asks if Main Street could be blocked between Pine St. and Walnut St. It is done temporarily. Could it be extended during the summer? It is mentioned that downtown parking is a problem for residents and that not more on-surface parking should be arranged. Mark requests to put an endorsement of the plan on the agenda of the January 2011 meeting of LSAB.
