Evans reported to the Commission re-garding his visit to this area. He suggestedthat more one-hour parking spaces be providedin the various parking lots instead of the 10-hour parking spaces. Also, that provisions bemade for more enforcement by the police Depart- ment. The Traffic Englneer reported to the Commissionthat lt might be advantageous to change someLo-hour parking spaces to a mixture of 1o-hour;2-hour and L-hour, depending upon the needs inthe various areas of Broadway. For example,Lot R by the Post Office is signed for 2-hourparking, but observations show that a good number of these parking spaces are occupiedwell beyond the 2-hour limit and in some casesas much as atl day. He also cautioned thatthere is a substantial need for Long termparking for employees, and that after all employees generally can be expected to shop inthe area wtlere they work. Perhaps a 5OE shortterm parking, in some lots would be appropri-ate .
