Town of Banff - Proposed Comprehensive Parking Management Plan

REQUEST FOR DECISION
Subject: Comprehensive Parking Management Plan
Presented to: Council Date: June 10, 2019
Submitted by: Adrian Field, Engineering Agenda #: 8.2
RECOMMENDATION
That Council direct administration to seek public input on the attached Comprehensive Parking
Management Plan.
BACKGROUND
Reason for Report
To respond to Council motion COU18-306 with options for a comprehensive parking management
plan.
Summary of issue
At the October 11, 2018 special meeting of council the following motion was passed:
COU18-305: that council direct administration to return with a report by the end of Q1 on a
comprehensive parking management plan including options for managing parking
downtown and on residential streets adjacent to downtown. The report would include
technology to be employed, costs, implications for residents of streets with RPP,
implications for visitors and implications for parking availability downtown and in the train
station intercept lot. CARRIED
Data on public and private parking stall availability and usage
Data has been gathered to help inform debate on potential initiatives that could be implemented in
order to help manage the demand for parking. The data is displayed visually in the following 5 maps
(see attachments):
Council Agenda Package 2019.06.10 Page 81 of 347

Map 1 – Zone Map
In Zones A, B and C:
• Licence plate recognition (LPR) data collection was collected in daytime hours during the
peak period of 2018
In Zones D, E and F:
• LPR data was collected during the peak summer period at night (between midnight and
3am).
Council: Comprehensive Parking Management Plan Agenda #8.2

Map 2 – Peak on-street parking occupancy in Zones A, B and C
• Data collection methodology
o Data collected by Licence plate recognition (LPR) August 2 to 8, 2018, 8am to 5pm
• Findings
o Peak daytime occupancy exceeds 86% for the majority of streets in zones ABC – i.e.
both the downtown core and adjacent residential areas.

4 of 20
Map 3 – Resident vs visitor/commuter vehicles parked in Zones A, B and C
o Data collected by licence plate recognition (LPR) August 2 to 8, 2018, 8am to 5pm
o Visitor/commuter is defined as being detected on 2 or fewer days in the survey
period (which also included the week of July 6 to July 12, 2018)
o Resident is defined as being detected on 3 or more days in the survey period.*
• Findings
o Greater than 50% of daytime parkers are visitors/commuters in zones A,B and C
o Streets furthest from the downtown core (e.g. 100,200, 300 blocks of Otter; 400
Beaver Street) have a majority of daytime parkers as residents.
*note this method of determining resident/non-resident split is subject to a margin of error as, for
example, a commuter who consistently parks in the same residential street near the downtown core
would show up in the data as a resident; a resident who was on vacation for all but 2 days of the
survey would be counted as a commuter/visitor. Indigo Park Canada inc (who collect and analyse
the LPR data) suggest this margin of error could be in the order of +/- 10% to 25%.

5 of 20
Map 4 – Residential on-street parking demand (calculated)
o Data derived from:
 2017 municipal census (vehicles per dwelling unit)
 Walking survey & property files (above-grade and below-grade private
parking stalls per dwelling unit)
 On-street parking stall count (excludes driveways, fire hydrants etc.)
 Where vehicles owned exceeds private parking stalls provided then these
vehicles are determined to be “unaccommodated” and are assumed to
contribute to on-street parking.
 Where private parking stalls provided exceeds vehicles owned then these
spaces are not assumed to be used by others on the street (i.e a resident of
one dwelling is assumed not to park in their neighbour’s private parking
space)
An extract from the spreadsheet used is shown below as an example of how the calculations
are derived:
The property at 100 Muskrat Address A has 30 off-street stalls and 22 vehicles associated
with it – therefore the property does not contribute to on-street surplus and has 8 spare
stalls. These stalls are assumed not to be occupyable by vehicles from other properties
(neighbours are assumed to not park in each other’s parkades).
Address B has 3 off-street stalls and 5 vehicles associated with it – the 2 unaccommodated
vehicles are assumed to spill over to the street
Where census data was incomplete for a property we used the town-wide average vehicle
count for that unit type eg. for Address C only one of the units of the duplex responded to

6 of 20
the survey so the total vehicle count attributed to the address is made up of 2 form the
response plus 2.27 for the non-response – a total of 4.27 vehicles.
In total there are 113 off-street stalls on the 100 block of Muskrat Street and an estimated
113 vehicles associated with the addresses – therefore all vehicles could be accommodated in
private parking stalls if surplus stalls for one property were occupyable by vehicles of
another.
In Map 4 however the assumption is that neighbours don’t park in each other’s driveways
and therefore the total spillover to the street is calculated form the sum of unaccommodated
vehicles – in this case 17 vehicles.
• Findings
o Some blocks have fewer private parking stalls available than the number of vehicles
owned on the block – in these streets residential spillover onto the street occurs.
Blocks shown in red are those blocks where the number of “unaccommodated”
vehicles (no private parking stall provided) take up greater than 85% of the available
on-street parking, this occurs on these streets:
 400 Muskrat
 400 Martin
 300, 400 and 500 Blocks of Banff Ave
 400 Otter
o The shaded area on the map represents a 200m radius from blocks where
unaccommodated residential vehicles cause on-street occupancy to exceed 85%. The
majority of addresses and driveways are attributed to addresses on North-South
streets however it is reasonable to expect that parking pressures may extend to East-
West streets that have only a few physical addresses (and vehicles) directly associated
with them.
o Other blocks, in green, have residential overspill of less than 50% of the on-street
parking – i.e the number of vehicles owned in the block can generally be
accommodated on private property. This list includes:
 100, 200, 300 Muskrat
 100, 200 Otter
 300, 400 Beaver
 200,300,400 Squirrel
 400,500 Cougar
 Marmot Crescent
 500 Deer Street
 200 Grizzly

Map 5 – Average overnight parking occupancy (observed)
o Data collected by Licence plate recognition (LPR) July 28 and August 1, 2018,
midnight to 3am
• Findings
o Some blocks, in red, have observed overnight occupancy greater than 85%
o Most streets which have calculated residential overspill greater than 85% of on-street
stall availability (from Map 4), also have observed occupancy greater than 85%. This
list includes:
 400 Muskrat
 400 Martin
 300, 400 and 500 Blocks of Banff Ave
 400 Otter
(Highlighted streets are those where both calculated residential demand and
observed occupancy both exceeded 85% of the on-street parking supply). On
these streets there is insufficient private parking to accommodate all private
vehicles.
o Some streets are able to park most of their vehicles in private stalls and garages (and
are shown in green on map 4) but have observed overnight parking occupancy greater
than 85%. This list includes:
 400 Cougar
 500 Deer
 400 Squirrel
 400 Beaver
On these streets it is possible that, although there is sufficient parking in private
stalls, some residential vehicles are being parked on-street and that private stalls are
being used for other purposes, such as storage.
o In some streets in Zone C i.e.

 100, 200 Muskrat
 100, 200 Otter
1. parking occupancy is greater than 85% during the day (shown in red on map 2)
2. Residential overspill is relatively low (the streets are shown in green on map 4)
and
3. Night time occupancy is high - between 51 and 85% (yellow on map 5)
On these streets it is possible that visitors/commuters are using on-street parking
during the day and, at night, residents are choosing to park their vehicles on the
street rather than using privately owned garages and off-street parking.

Parking management objectives:
The principal objectives of a Banff-specific comprehensive parking management plan would be:
1. To reduce parking pressures in residential neighbourhoods.
2. To retain priority residential parking for residents through discouraging longer term parking
by visitors and commuters.
3. To encourage the use of off-street private parking stalls for residential vehicle parking.
4. To free up short term downtown parking stalls for residents and visitors by displacing
commuters and longer term parkers to less well utilized stalls (on Bow Ave and in the Bear
Street parkade).
The proposed parking management plan therefore has two distinct components – a residential
parking permit system (RPP) which is designed to achieve objectives 1 to 3 above; and downtown
user pay parking (UPP) which is designed to achieve objective 4.
Residential Parking Permit system
Based on data gathered, and from experience in other communities, should Council choose to
proceed with a RPP system the following criteria are proposed:
Criteria Rationale
In place year-round, 7 days/week Residential parking protected year-round.
Visitor/commuter parking directed to either
downtown, private off-street stalls (e.g. hotel
parkades) or the train station lot year-round.
In effect 24 hours* To protect residential parking, including
neighbourhoods which may experience on-
street parking from nearby hotels
2 hour limit for non-permit holders Allows for some short term parking to
complete errands/appointments;
incentivizes stall turnover, incentivizes
commuters to park in longer term lots or to
take transit/bike/walk etc.
Permits issued for a designated vehicle Fee to cover administration and to
licence plate incentivize the use of private off-street
$50 admin fee parking stalls where available.
1 permit max per residence**
Permit is valid for 1 year Keeps database current for rental units that
may have high turnover
Guest passes – 2 per dwelling unit at a time, Allows for guests of residents, staying longer
limited to 10 per month. No charge for than the 2 hour time limit, to park in the
guest permits. Residential Permit zone
Technology Licence Plate Recognition, Guest passes via

LPR
*Council could chose to vary the hours, for some or all of the streets that the RPP programme is in
effect, to 08:00 to 16:00 (or other time period) – this would have the advantage of removing the
11 of 20
need for guest passes overnight and in the evening but would not redirect any overnight hotel stay
vehicles off residential streets where this is an issue.
**Rationale used to determine the appropriate number of parking permits per residence:
The RPP Zone has a total of 732 on-street stalls; calculated residential spillover (of vehicles
which cannot be accommodated in private stalls off-street) is 316, leaving a total of 416 on-
street stalls that would not be used – (assuming the RPP programme were to be successful in
displacing all commuters and visitors out of the RPP Zone).
On street stall count vs Residential spillover
Total Residential On Street Stall count 732

Total Residential Spillover 316
assumes that properties with surplus stalls do not
Total Surplus On street Stalls 416 allow parking in those stalls for their neighbours
However total residence count is 969 and total off street stall count is 732 so if all residents
applied for one permit then the programme would be oversubscribed by 237 stalls:
On-street Stall count vs Dwelling unit count
Total Residential On Street Stall count 732

Total Dwelling Units -969
assumes all residences will apply including those
Oversubscription -237 with sufficient off street parking
In the RPP zone there are 1,354 private stalls and 1,274 vehicles – therefore if neighbours
allowed parking in each other’s parking spaces then all but 80 vehicles could be
accommodated in private off-street stalls:
Residential vehicles owned vs private spaces provided
Total residential vehicles

owned 1354
Total off-street parking spaces -1274
Total spill-over to street 80 assumes that properties with surplus parking allow surplus stalls to be us
Administration therefore recommends issuing 1 permit per residence and monitoring on-
street occupancy and permit application numbers after implementation. It may be possible
to issue more than one permit per residence depending on how well off-street stalls are
utilized.
The extent of the proposed programme is as shown on Maps 6 and 7; streets selected are:
• Outside the downtown core and where;
o Peak daytime occupancy exceeds 85% or
o Greater than 50% of parkers are visitors/commuters or

12 of 20
o Unaccommodated residential vehicles occupy greater than 85% of the on-street
parking
Bow Ave is recommended to remain as longer term parking for visitors/commuters

13 of 20

14 of 20
The criteria and maps are presented here as draft and administration recommends a public
consultation period where residents can provide feedback on any of the aspects of the proposed
parking management plan – including their views on whether or not it should be implemented at all.
A residential parking permit system would help to manage visitor and commuter parking in
residential areas proximate to downtown and would be an important part of a comprehensive
parking management system.
A resident parking permit system implemented without downtown parking disincentives could have
the effect of exacerbating downtown parking issues as visitors and commuters who currently park
on residential streets would be directed to other areas.
Administration would therefore recommend that a resident parking permit system should be
considered only if user pay parking were to be considered downtown.
User-pay parking (downtown)

User-pay parking (UPP) downtown has been discussed for a number of years and is a
recommendation in the 2013 Transportation Management Plan.
The principal objectives of such a system would be:

• To free up short term downtown parking stalls for residents and visitors by displacing
commuters and longer term parkers to less well utilized stalls (on Bow Ave and in the Bear
Street parkade).
• To encourage parking stall turnover in locations close to downtown businesses and services
• To reduce peak parking occupancy to 85% in the downtown zone so that residents and
vehicles are more easily able to find a place to park
• To reduce traffic congestion resulting from an estimated 30% of vehicles circling to find a
parking space.
• To encourage a transportation mode shift to sustainable modes such as transit, walk, bike,
carpool
• To incentivize the daytime use of approximately 200 empty private parking stalls within the
downtown area that are unoccupied during peak periods in August
• To encourage travel by vehicle and parking downtown for errands during non-peak periods
of the day and times of year
• To allow for short term parking for errands or loading
• To enable visitors who may wish to pay to stay longer than the current 2-3 hour time limits
to do so without needing to move their car.

15 of 20
Should Council determine to proceed further with a potential downtown user-pay programme then,
based on data gathered in Banff and from experience in other communities, administration is
proposing following draft criteria as starting point for public input:
Criteria Rationale
Seasonal – May 1st to October 31st Parking pressures occur primarily during
summer season. Transit frequency is
greater; cycling and walking are more
popular during summer. Off peak grace
periods could be increased to the first 2
hours on-street and 3 hours on-street being
free.
7-days/week Parking pressures occur every day during the
summer period
11am to 8pm Implemented during peak hours. Free
parking prior to 11am allows time for
errands/appointments. User-pay
discourages all day commuter parking
downtown
30 minutes or less - free Allows time for errands/appointments but
discourages commuter parking. Encourages
stall turnover for short term trips.
$3/hr off-street and on-street except loading Off-street parking is less popular than on-
zones – these are free street - incentivize parking stall turnover.
Having a single rate for both on- and off-
street parking means that parkers do not
need to register the car’s “zone” as well as
their licence plate – a parker just finds the
nearest machine, enters their plate number
and pays for the time they wish to stay.
Accessible parking stalls charged at same rate Encourage parking stall turnover, keep
accessible parking stall availability for those
who need it.
Free 8-hour commuter/long term stay Allows free parking spaces in less well
parking in Bear Street Parkade and on Bow utilized areas for commuters and longer
Ave term visitors
Technology Licence Plate Recognition, on-street
machines, ability to pay and extend time via
cell phone
The extent of the programme is as shown on Maps 8 and 9; streets selected are:
• Within the downtown core and where
• Peak daytime occupancy exceeds 85%
Bow Ave and the Bear street Parkade are recommended to remain as longer term parking for
visitors/commuters.

18 of 20
The criteria and maps are presented here as draft and administration recommends a public
consultation period where residents can provide feedback on any of the aspects of the proposed
parking management plan – including their views on whether or not it should be implemented at all.
Implications of Decision
The criteria and areas for the Residential Permit Programme and the User-Pay system as outlined
above are designed to help manage parking:
1. in residential areas that:
a. experience visitor/commuter parking load or
b. have a greater number of private vehicles owned than private parking stalls provided
2. on downtown streets which experience peak occupancy greater than 85% - and where
finding convenient parking is difficult, in part due to pressures from visitor/commuter
parking.
The systems are designed to encourage shorter term parking downtown and longer term parking in
less well utilized stalls on Bow Ave, the Bear Street parkade and the train station lot.
The proposed user-pay area contains over 400 private stalls with measured occupancy of 54% at
peak in 2018 – leaving approximately 200 downtown private stalls available for use during the
proposed hours of the user-pay system. It is possible that parking management tactics could help
assign a greater “value” to these stalls and that, for example, underutilized stalls in downtown or
hotel private parkades may receive greater use - if the alternative is to pay for parking on the street.
In addition to making parking free before 11am and the first 30 minutes, council could also direct
administration to bring options for other residential off-setting benefits such as:
• Taxi programme – a number of free taxi trips per resident per year
• Validation system for medical offices/physio etc.
Revenue generated by such a user-pay system could offset costs of implementation and could
generate a revenue stream in the order of $775,000 per year with the system outlined in this report.
This could have the effect of reducing overall taxes by 2.81% or a residential tax savings of $58 per
average assessed dwelling. Total net operating costs for the local transit system are approximately
$1,000,000 in 2019.
Response Options
Council could:
1. Direct administration to seek public input on the proposed Comprehensive Parking
Management Plan.
2. Direct administration to bring the Comprehensive Parking Management Plan back to
service review.
3. Make changes to any of the draft criteria and areas for the Comprehensive Parking
Management Plan and direct administration to seek public input
4. Receive this report as information and take no further action.

OTHER INFORMATION
Budget
Budget implications would depend on the criteria and extent of the systems. Capital and operating
costs would be brought back for council’s consideration once the criteria and extent of each of the
systems is established. As a guide only, for the system outlined in this report, user-pay would
generate around $775,000 net revenue. Capital costs would be around $600,000.
30 mins free $3 per hour

Total Parking Revenue 683,417.00
Violation Revenue Estimate 210,915.00
Total Operational Expenses - 120,000.00
Operational Surplus 774,332.00
Internal Resources
Bylaw Services would be responsible for the implementation of the system; engineering and
planning would be involved in research to help inform system implementation. Streets would be
responsible for the installation and maintenance of additional parking regulatory signage.
Communication
The next steps, if any, are likely to require significant communication efforts – both in determining
the extent of the program and in communicating the program implementation details, if any.
Banff Community Plan

• Provide a transportation system that encourages and complements pedestrian movements
and cycling.
• Provide a transportation system that enhances the resident and visitor experience.

20 of 20
Council Strategic Priorities
“A limited land base and Banff’s commitment to being an environmental role model means we
cannot build our way out of traffic congestion and lack of parking. Our community must embrace
more creative solutions to managing traffic volumes, particularly at peak travel times. We will
provide a multi-modal transportation system that is economically and environmentally sustainable
and that enhances the lives of residents and the experience of visitors.”

COMPREHENSIVE PARKING
MANAGEMENT PLAN

Overview
• Data gathered & findings
• Options for Residential Parking Permit
• Options for Downtown User-pay Parking

Map 1 Parking Zones
• Licence Plate Recognition
• 60,000 unique licence plates
scanned
• Zones ABC
• Downtown & adjacent
residential
• Daytime parking data
• Zones DEF
• Residential areas
• Overnight parking data

Map 2 Parking occupancy
• Daytime data at peak (Aug 2 to
8 2019)
• Occupancy exceeds 86% for
most streets

Map 3 Resident parking stats
• Visitor/commuter is defined as
being detected on 2 or fewer
days in the period
• Majority are visitor/commuters
within 2 block radius of
downtown

Map 4 Residential on-street
parking demand (calculated)
• Municipal census data on
vehicle ownership
• On-street count of parking
spaces
• Green streets have enough
driveway/garage/parkade
spaces to accommodate all
their vehicles
• Red streets do not have enough
private parking and “spillover”
to occupy greater than 86% of
the on-street parking
• East-West streets have only a
few addresses and are not
included in the data set –
spillover likely occurs to these
streets

Map 5 Overnight parking
occupancy (observed)
• Red is greater than 86%
occupancy
• Most streets which have
calculated overspill also have
observed overspill
• Some streets are green when
calculated but red when
observed – private parking
spaces are not always used for
parking
• Streets in the purple square:
• Full during the day
• Have enough private
spaces for their cars
• Have spare stalls overnight

Parking management plan
Objectives
• To reduce parking pressures in residential neighbourhoods.
• To free up short term downtown parking stalls for residents and

vehicle parking.
• To encourage the use of 200 empty stalls in downtown parkades.
