SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
SJM 60 requests the Capitol Buildings Planning Commission
to evaluate the existing parking opportunities of the State Capitol area and,
recommend viable options to increase the availability of parking for all
citizens of our state. The report is due
Significant
Issues
Parking is inadequate for citizens in the vicinity of the
State Capitol. This is especially
critical for those planning on participating in the process of government, or
simply visiting our city, especially during the Legislative Session. Availability of parking can affect revenues
generated by tourism, the continued operational flow of government, and
prospective new businesses. Parking in
the Capitol area is a concern of the Capitol Buildings Planning Commission.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
Additional parking in the Capitol area could have a positive fiscal impact for in tourism and prospective new businesses considering relocation to our city. Adequate parking will improve efficiency for agencies and citizens having business at the Capitol.
