Annette,

 

I hope this finds you well. I’m writing to let you know about an opportunity to help shape downtown parking in the coming year.

 

The City Council on Monday authorized the formation of a Downtown Parking Task Force. A specific focus of the group will be to reconsider the downtown Free Customer Parking Area (FCPA). We also have work planned around loading zones and accessible parking spaces, so we might use the group to consider recommendations developed for those items as well.  

 

With all that as background, I’d like to invite you and others who you think might be interested to apply to be on the limited duration 7-member task force. I would very much appreciate you communicating through your networks about the openings, as appropriate. The application is available by following the APPLY HERE link on this page. We are seeking to seat people who represent downtown property owners, business owners, residents and employees, accessibility advocates, multimodal interests, and general community members with an interest in downtown parking. We are hoping to have a solid pool of applicants for the Mayor to review, and the City Council will confirm appointments at the June 17 meeting.

 

For more information, I’ve attached an FAQ sheet we shared with Council recently. Please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to discuss this or any other parking subjects.

 

 

Kindest Regards,

 

Maya O’Neal

Public Parking Coordinator

City of Corvallis Public Works

Please note that the email below implies the deadline is near the June 17 appointment date.  However, the city website states the application is actually due by Monday, May 27.

Please consider applying for a position – downtown parking impacts local businesses, air pollution/quality (and wildfire ash falling in the summer), the ability of disabled people to easily go to downtown businesses, and the safety of pedestrians, bikers, little kids, and dogs.
