[bouldercouncilhotline] Hotline: Parking in CAGID lots Downtown

[cmosupport at bouldercolorado.gov]

Sender: Cowles, Macon

Dear Jane:

I would appreciate receiving some information about parking fees in CAGID facilities, compared to competing facilities in the private sector.

Does staff have a schedule setting forth the parking fees that are charged for all parking spaces in, and parking permits for, CAGID lots including both surface and structured parking facilities? It would be helpful to see such a schedule to get
an idea of what the City is charging for parking.

What does Parking Services think that other parking facilities in the downtown area charge for parking spaces and parking permits?

What is the thinking for allowing people to park for free in CAGID lots so long as they leave after the attendant leaves at the end of the day? How much in potential fees are lost through this method? Has Parking Services considered charging a flat fee for parking at the time vehicles enter CAGID lots after, say, mid-afternoon? I notice that such a practice is followed in Denver at some of the structured facilities.

Thanks very much.
