   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.                  REPORT REFERENCE (CONT'D) 


   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.
