Remember when parking was fun?
pt 1005 9/27/05 1:17 PM Page 37 Stan has the prime piece of property right next to the airport entry. He runs a good parking operation and takes a lot of parking business away from the airport. He has built a good legacy and comfortable life by making the right decisions along the way. Now the airport wants to use eminent domain to take away his property and most likely his business for what seems to me to be a paltry amount. He is willing to sell, but at a price that makes business sense. I have been suspect of eminent domain's use in many such situations. The concept of "public good" can be stretched to fit most any activity a politician or airport manager wants it to. Pittsburgh Lot Workers Strike; City Council Supports Them Some 230 parking lot workers went on strike in Pittsburgh and turned a bargaining table dispute into a political battle. Lot operators said they would keep facilities open by using management, clerical and temporary employees. Teamsters Local 926, which represents the workers, won a resolution from Pittsburgh City Council accusing operators of "union busting" and urging prompt compromise. Workers walked off lots owned or managed by the Pittsburgh Parking Authority, Alco Parking, Main Lot, Grant Oliver Parking and E&S Transportation. The lots have some 40,000 spaces, including the large majority of Downtown, North Shore and Pittsburgh International Airport parking. Alco had hired replacements for $12 a hour. "There may have been hiccups while we were training and putting people in," said Alco President Merrill Stabile. But picketing was not disruptive, parkers were not turned away and lot volumes were normal, Stabile said. Ten lot workers and several labor leaders came before the council, complaining that lot operators would not budge in negotiations. Stabile said he'd return to the table at any time but wouldn’t "let a politician tell me I don't pay my workers enough when they've imposed a 50% parking tax." The city has the nation's highest parking tax. Parking Blog comments: The parking attendants union has gone out on strike in Pittsburgh. They want more money, and more flexibility in their work hours, and a guaranteed job. Yep -- if an operator loses a location to another operator, they want their jobs guaranteed across the two companies. The operators, including the Pittsburgh Parking Authority and Alco, the largest private operator, seem to think they should be able to ask a cashier to answer phones in the office or maybe, dare I say it, sweep a floor. They think they should be able to charge the folks 10% of the cost of their health insurance. Outrageous. Continued on Page 38 SM Ann Arbor Remember when parking was fun?

However, it will be fun to watch. In the meantime, the lots are full, and the operators are running with management crews and training temps. From what I know about running garages, that shouldn't take too long. I wonder if the union realized that running a cashier terminal isn't the same as running, say, the control board at a nuclear power plant. Town Removes Meters, Institutes Parking Zones The new downtown parking plan in Newark, OH, continues to change based on concerns from business owners, but enforcement is just around the corner. All the meters will be removed, and parking zones of two, three and 11 hours will be in place. The time limits are for the day, even if a motorist leaves and returns to another space in the same zone. The two- and three-hour zones will be enforced from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The latest revision will likely be to the cost of parking passes for downtown residents. The proposed cost was $90 per quarter, or $360 per year. Mayor Bruce Bain said the city was listening to all concerns and would probably adjust the price of the pass. A final plan will be in place and enforcement will begin within a couple of weeks, the mayor said. The parking time limits cover the entire working day, so an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon add up to the two-hour limit, if in the same zone. Alex Athan, day manager at The Natoma, said the cumulative nature of the time limit will be confusing and a burden on patrons. "What I dislike most is if a customer is here at 11 a.m. for an hour, and has errands to run and comes back to meet friends for a cocktail or coffee, they're still on the clock for that hour," Athan said. "You still have only an hour left to work with." The cumulative time limit was designed to eliminate the practice of downtown employees moving their cars a few spaces away every two hours to avoid tickets. Parking Blog comments: We are obviously missing something here. If I understand what is written above -- if I come in and park for 15 minutes in a two-hour zone, then leave and come back in an hour and stay for 45 minutes, then leave and come back in an hour and stay for 65 minutes, I have overstayed and will be fined. Now just how are they going to enforce that? There must be some new technology we haven't heard about. And as you are aware, unenforced controls are worse than none at all. A reader chimes in: John: I can envision how you could enforce this using some of the new MLRP products now available, but it would take a great deal of time, effort and expense. A well-designed and enforced meter system would be a whole lot easier and surely more cost-efficient. Unfortunately, cost efficiency seems to frequently get relegated to the back of the bus when a City Council gets involved. Councilman Files Petition To Prevent Paid Parking After Councilman Doug Thomas' submission of signatures to the City Clerk's office in order to get his "no paid parking" proposal on the ballot, city officials in Dearborn, MI, said that though the names are in, that fact alone does not allow the proposal to come before the voters in November. Thomas, along with the proposal's co-sponsor Tony Fera, gathered nearly 4,000 signatures from people who say they are against paying to park in city-owned lots. Thomas and Fera said they are against paid parking for many reasons, including the fact they believe that businesses in the city’s west end will suffer a significant loss of customers once the system starts. Originally slated to begin in January 2005, the system currently has no projected launch date, city officials said. Mayor Michael Guido said the system is necessary because, though the businesses do pay a tax for maintenance of the city-owned lots, the city can no longer afford to pay the difference. Having users pay to park solves the problem, the mayor said — a fact that Thomas disputes.

It would seem that the birthplace of an industry should be able to understand that it costs money to park cars as well as to run them. Let's see -- the businesses will suffer if paid parking is instituted. So you are telling me that the only reason people come to these businesses is because of free parking? They are willing to pay for parking to see a Tigers game, or to visit a fancy restaurant, or when they stay overnight at the Ren Center downtown, but they won't pay a small amount when they come to eat or shop in "West Dearborn?” Sorry, sports fans, it doesn't fly. If you want people to come to your area and shop, give them a reason to do so. Make it fun to shop there. Clean up the streets, put in new lighting and storefronts, repave and fix the sidewalks. Increase security. Put in a 12- plex cinema. Cost too much? Not if you take the money you get from parking and roll it back into the neighborhood from which it came. Airport Traffic Creating a Shortage of Parking Travelers using Philadelphia International Airport are running into an unexpected problem these days: There often is nowhere to park. This is occurring particularly with the long-term economy lot, which routinely fills up quickly each day. Many airline passengers then are left with a difficult choice: risk missing their flights as they scramble to find off-site parking, or put their cars in airport parking garages, which charge $17 a day, compared with $9 a day in the economy lot. The short-term ground-level lots across from the airport's baggage-claim areas charge $38 a day. Officials say parking spots are hard to come by because low-fare carrier Southwest Airlines, which began operating out of Terminal E in May 2004, is drawing far more passengers than expected. The influx of passengers has flooded the airport's 17,172 parking spaces, including the 5,672-space economy lot, which often is the first to fill up, according to the Philadelphia Parking Authority, which manages the lots and garages. On a recent day, for instance, the "Lot Full" sign was up at 11:30 a.m. at the economy lot, and Parking Authority workers were referring motorists to the airport's garages. The same scenario occurred the next day. The situation has been exacerbated as Southwest's low fares have caused other carriers to lower their fares, attracting even more passengers, officials say. Parking Blog comments: Read this carefully – there are plenty of parking spaces; it’s just that people don’t want to pay for them. Yep, those pesky low fares at Southwest are simply ruining the parking at Philadelphia International. PT JVH comments on Parking News every day at PT blog -- log on at www.parkingtoday.com. A new landmark national survey from Black’s Guide, the nation’s most comprehensive and industry-leading commercial real estate (CRE) source, reveals that 89% of CRE professionals feel confident that business will be as good as or better in the next six months as in the prior six months. This confidence follows a half-decade slump in the CRE industry. Rather than focusing on where tenants will come from, commercial real estate professionals are focusing on the increased demands of new tenants such as WiFi and food services and the challenges of accelerating development such as traffic issues and delays in construction permits, the survey shows. Nearly 1,000 commercial real estate professionals nationwide participated in the survey. The upward trend of market activity indicated in the survey has been reflected in the robust traffic that the Black’s Guide Web site (www.Black’sGuide.com) has also experienced, where users are able to easily search a database of more than 80,000 properties. “The results of our first CRE Trends Survey demonstrate that the commercial real estate industry is experiencing signs of consistent growth after a sluggish five years,” said Ed Barnes, Vice President and General Manager of Black’s Guide. “CRE professionals are back into problem-solving mode … looking for the kind of creative solutions and high-quality information that gets deals done.” A Full-Service Parking Company For Nearly 60 Years and Still Servicing Our 1st Client!!! • Hotels • Shopping Centers • Self/Attendant Parking • Traffic Directors We Do It All • Restaurants/Clubs • Surface Lots/Garages • Special Events • Shuttle Buses • Consulting Services For more information contact Victor Morad or Anthony Policella 1-800-794-PARK 1-310-836-3388 x 100 Founded May 1, 1946 www.valetparkingservice.com Circle #213 on Reader Service Card October 2005 • Parking Today • www.parkingtoday.com 39 pt 1005 9/27/05 1:17 PM Page 40 See our other ad on Page 3 Circle #62 on Reader Service Card pt 1005 9/27/05 1:17 PM Page 41 reader service RS # ADVERTISER circle number on card for info on these advertisers’ products PAGE RS # ADVERTISER PAGE 10 27 Driver Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. 25 AIMS(EDC) 9 40 Federal APD 2 Amano Cincinnati 5 134 Guardian Traffic Systems 274 Bird-B-Gone, Inc. 43 217 Honda 296 Bobit Business Media 27 42 81 Carl Walker, Inc. 42 79 Casio 143 Consulting Engineers Group, Inc. 128 CreditCall Communications Ltd. 288 206 ABLOY Security, Inc. 141 RS # ADVERTISER 25 PAGE Scheidt & Bachmann USA Inc. 47 Sign Factory 38 2 171 26 21 Southland Printing Co. 3 7 62 Southland Printing Co. 40 Kimley-Horn 41 162 Standard Parking Systems 31 179 Login Lock 36 163 SysParc 21 31 166 Magnetic Automation 28 125 T2 Systems, Inc. 11 43 123 Meter Products Co., Inc. 13 39 Talk-A-Phone 18 8 129 Metric Parking 36 100 The Parking Network 42 Desman Associates 43 215 Next Parking, LLC 37 30 Toledo Ticket Co. 48 176 Digital Payment Technologies 17 34 PARC Distributor Group 41 271 Universal Boot 30 227 Digital Printing Systems 22 156 Reino Enforcement Technology 15 213 Valet Parking Service 39 DLC Consulting 41 235 Ring Communications 29 106 Walker Parking Consultants 37 73 All Operational Consulting Services We do everything except park your cars.

[email protected] Parking Firm to Fight Airport Fee The owner of the only private parking company serving the Richmond, VA, airport plans to fight a new fee he calls an attempt to drive him out of business. "Their own documentation says they want to get rid of us," said John Bona, President of Florida-based Park'N Go. "They're saying to get rid of them, let's tax them more and they'll go away." Airport officials denied the allegation. Chief Financial Officer Douglas Blum said the fee, approved by the airport commission Aug. 30, is needed to keep pace with rising operating costs. The resolution was passed unanimously by the Capital Region Airport Commission, which represents Richmond and the counties of Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico. It calls for Park'N Go to pay the airport 8% of its gross revenue each year, in addition to another user fee. Bona vowed to "fight this to the bitter end." 44 Statement of Ownership, Management and Circulation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.
