Parking Study Draft - West St Project not needed

The parking study draft is very interesting. It says we have a couple pinch points during the day, but overall we aren't bursting at the seams. We have work to do for sure. Here are some thoughts on how to improve
-awareness campaign for parking south of the pike. Maybe some nice signage for wayfinding.
-great crosswalk upgrade maybe w led lighting (i know it's expensive)
-paint spots on M'ville (20+), E bound Wooster E of Square (10ish), squeeze additional spots near the fountain (5ish)
-look at parallel parking on West if we must put any there(10+)
(sum total is 50ish!)
-if we still need more, it's time to revisit a garage. With no geothermal at the Elem Parking lot, why not buy it and double its yield with a low, attractive garage?

My takeaway before Council takes it up (I admit this is premature). From the data I've seen so far: We DON'T need to blow up West Street and spend $200K+ on this project. This study shows it's NOT NEEDED for a couple hours a day difficulty (which we absolutely must solve for). We need to invest in parking, yes. We don't need this radical solution.

Related, I think some of the Griewe condo spot estimates are incorrect. He needs 0 for Nolen, and only a handful for Emery (or vice versa). I'll follow up on this. We should make sure all the assumptions are correct, and we should NOT allow the "light day" comment to derail the DATABASED STUDY that we have paid for.
