The City of Roseburg is looking for the public’s input on a new plan to improve parking downtown and in the Laurelwood district.
The plan, which will serve as a strategic roadmap for the creation of a new parking management system, was put together by a group of volunteers, as well as city staff and a parking consultant. The volunteer group has met monthly since September in an effort to provide feedback to city staff and the consultants, the final result being a parking plan that is considered fair and equitable.
“When you read the plan, you’ll notice that it is sectioned out into timelines with a list of action items,” said Stuart Cowie, community development director for the city, in a news release. “We want the public to view this document as a ‘menu’ of options. Due to a lack of funding and resources, we will not be able to implement all of these items, at least not right away. However, the first year of implementing this plan will be crucial to the success of the new parking system. This is where we need feedback to help us decide which parts of the plan are most important to the public.”
The city recently completed a downtown parking survey, which was sent out to the community in November. Over 300 completed surveys were recorded, and feedback from the respondents was integrated into the parking plan. Additionally, city officials held a virtual “open house” in November, during which residents had the opportunity to ask questions and get feedback from the parking consultants.
The public will have another opportunity to give feedback on the plan at an upcoming vikrtual open house scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17. The meeting will be broadcast live on the City’s Facebook page, which can be accessed by going to www.Facebook.com/CityofRoseburg. Residents can submit questions during the live meeting through the comments section on Facebook.
