   1.   City of Vancouver Parking Policy            File:  5650/5653-2/5654

        Before Council were three Administrative Reports concerning parking
   policy, facilities and parking control equipment as follows:

        -    Administrative Report dated  June 8, 1995  entitled "City

             of Vancouver Parking Policy"

        -    Administrative   Report  dated  June   7,  1995  entitled
             "Operation of City Owned Off-Street Parking Facilities" 

        -    Administrative  Report dated June  7, 1995  entitled "On-
             Street Parking Control Equipment"

        Mr. Brent MacGregor, Deputy City  Engineer, provided Council with a
   review  of the  various  reports noting  these are  a  follow-up to  the
   presentation to Council on the Transportation Plan made on May 30, 1995.

   City of Vancouver Parking Policy (cont'd)

        Mr.  MacGregor  reviewed  the  first of  the  three  reports  which
   identifies  existing  parking  policies and  suggests  future directions
   which can be explored  in the context of the City's Transportation Plan.
   Vancouver  has  led  other  cities  with  innovative  parking  policies,
   including  residential permit parking.   Mr. MacGregor reviewed the four
   main areas  where Council has  established policies related  to parking,
   including  development  parking,  City  parking   facilities,  on-street
   parking and parking enforcement.

        Mr. MacGregor also  reviewed the report concerning  City owned off-
   street parking facilities which are operated for the City by the Parking
   Corporation of Vancouver.  The report recommended Council  authorize the
   General  Manager  of Engineering  Services  and  the  Director of  Legal
   Services to enter  into an  updated operating agreement  for the  City's
   off-street  parking  facilities  consolidating,  where  possible,  those
   facilities now operated by the Parking Corporation of Vancouver.

        The  third report  reviewed various  options for  on-street parking
   control  including parking  meters,  pay and  display  parking, and  pay
   stationed equipment.  In this report, the General Manager of Engineering
   Services submitted the following recommendations:

        A.   THAT Engineering  Services continue its ongoing review of
             on-street  parking equipment options  to ensure  that the
             technology  used by  the City  of Vancouver  provides the
             best  value  for the  citizens  of the  City.   Currently
             electronic parking meters provide the best value with the
             potential for future use of debit card technologies.

        B.   THAT  the General  Manager  of  Engineering  Services  in
             consultation with the Director  of Permits & Licenses and
             Director  of  Finance  evaluate  the options  for  an  In
             Vehicle Parking  Meter (IVPM) program,  initially for use
             by commercial vehicles, and report back to Council.

        C.   THAT  a  consultant  be   retained  to  assist  staff  in
             reviewing  the  security  of  Vancouver's  parking  meter
             operations  and its  structure  at an  estimated cost  of
             $40,000.  Funds  for this  work to be  provided from  the
             Parking Meter Replacement Reserve.
