WEST MAIN STREET PARKING OPPORTUNITIES AND ANALYSIS <br /> City of Charlottesville <br /> <br />Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc. | 16 <br />REGULATIONS AND GENERAL OBSERVATIONS <br />The use category and applicable regulations were recorded for all spaces within the study area. <br />Multiple regulatory approaches co-exist along the West Main Street corridor, including free on- <br />street public parking, paid off-street public parking, free off-street private parking (for <br />customers), paid off-street private parking, and paid off-street permit parking. <br />The 70 free on-street public parking spaces and the 51 free off-street public parking spaces have <br />varying time restrictions and regulatory periods. Between Ridge Street and 9th Street, and in the <br />Old Albemarle Hotel parking lot, public parking is granted in two-hour limits, from 8 a.m. to 6 <br />p.m., Monday through Saturday. The parking limit between 9th and 10th Streets is 15 minutes, <br />from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Public on-street parking is unmonitored on <br />Sundays. <br />In addition to standard on-street public parking spaces, there are at least nine loading zone <br />spaces and six handicapped spaces (the three spaces fronting First Baptist Church between 6th <br />and 7th Streets are only active on Sundays). Many loading zone spaces are not clearly demarcated, <br />which encourage and lead to non-uniform and illegal parking practices. Included in the supply are <br />28 total handicapped spaces available in the study area. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 3 West Main Street Parking Survey Inventory <br />
