Concord to install parking sensors at Todos Santos Plaza, Jul 30
July 29, 2008
On Wednesday July 30th the City of Concord will be installing 36 wireless parking sensors to the short (30 minute & 15 minute) term and handicapped spaces in the Todos Santos Square area. Currently the plan is to block off the spaces all day. The goal is to work with the vendor to complete the spaces on Salvio between Grant and Mt. Diablo first, then to get as many of the handicapped spaces completed and available for use.
Phase I of the project will provide the Parking Services Unit of the Concord Police Department data regarding space utilization. Information from the sensors about utilization and length of stay will provide valuable usage information to the Concord Police Department and City officials as they make decisions about parking policies and development in the area. The survey service is designed to electronically monitor the handicapped and short-term spaces around the plaza on a 24/7 basis, enabling Concord Police Department officials to access real-time and historical reports of space usage.
Phase II of the project will provide parking enforcement capabilities. The enforcement service described in this proposal will help maximize the efficiency of the Police Department’s parking services officer(s) by eliminating the need for tire chalking in the short-term spaces. This should ultimately result in better turnover of downtown parking and improved adherence to time limits.
