 | In the managed downtown of Freehold, NJ it has been suggested
that a portion of the Main Street be closed to create an outside shopping
experience. The goal of the suggestor is to attract more retail to the downtown
which competes with the mall one mile away. The current strength of the downtown
is service business and restaurants. Does experience show this concept to work
elsewhere? If not, why? If so, where? |

 | The town of Moab (pop. 5,000) in
Southeast Utah is looking to make its small (about 2 blocks along Main Street)
downtown more pedestrian friendly in hopes of spurring tourist-based businesses
that can serve the growing number of visitors who come here for outdoor
recreation. The city planning commission is proposing widening the downtown
sidewalks, creating more of a plaza feel, and increasing parking on the nearby
side streets. Some business owners are objecting, believing they need spots
directly in front of their stores. Are there published articles on other
communities that have dealt with this issue? You can contact me directly by
using the following e-mail address:

 | Howdy folks. I got such great answers the last time I asked a
question, I'm gonna try again with a new question! My name is Katie Byard. I am
a reporter at the Akron (OH.) Beacon Journal. The question isn't about downtown,
but touches on planning issues that I thought all you planning types might be
familiar with! Akron city engineers are planning on NARROWING a busy
thoroughfare. Why? The street, while a big cut through from one main street to
another, is lined with nice homes and is losing its residential feel as traffic
increases. So... planners thought they would try narrowing the street as a
traffic-calming device. It's more or less unheard of to narrow streets in this
area... usually they're mide wider. I'm interested in hearing from folks about
other such projects to narrow streets in an effort to get cars to slow down --
and maybe even dissaude motorists from using a particular route. Thanks my work

The Downtown Walla Walla Foundation (Walla Walla
Wa.) is in the early stages of developing a new long range plan for our
downtown and have hosted the first of what we expect will be series of public
meetings to solicit community input for this project.
One of the key ideas that has already surfaced is the restoration of Mill
Creek as it runs through our Downtown. The creek was converted into a
flood control channel in the 1920's (picture LA River 1/20th scale. The
ideas proposed so far include both streambed restoration and development of a
pedestrian pathway along the banks linking Downtown to surrounding
neighborhoods along the creek.
We are excited by the potential for this project and would like to identify
some of the resources that could be applied.
Our regional Corps. of Engineers is excited about the project and interested
in participating and we believe that TEA 21 funds might also be applicable.
Does anyone know what resources other communities have accessed for similar
projects?

 | Hi. I'm a reporter at the Akron (OH) Beacon Journal. I'm
working on a story about the city (Akron) creating angle parking in a business
district that has long had a lack of parking. What's particularly interesting is
that the street is a busy thoroughfare - not the quiet town square where you
still might expect to find angle parking these days. I've heard of other cities
are looking at/alreading have created angle parking. Is there a trend here? I'd
love to here from someone in the parking/traffic field or another city on this
back-to-the-future trend. On the same issue, why did cities get rid of their
angle parking in the first place? One traffic engineer told me that one of the
first things he learned in engineering school is that angle parking is ``bad..''
Do we have a whole generaiton of engineers that have been taught this and are
now rethinking that lesson amid cities' desires to boost urban business
districts? You get the drift of what I'm after! Any help would be most
appreciated! Katie Byard, staff writer, Akron Beacon Journal, phone:

Ms. Byard,
There
are several answers to your question.
The
concept that angle parking is "Bad" comes from a traffic engineering focus on
moving traffic (cars) instead of people, and the basic premise that diagonal
parking forces cars to slow down as they drive through downtown whereas if angle
parking is removed, traffic can move more efficiently (faster) and in many cases
even the number of lanes can be increased.
The
popularity of this type of engineering is one of the many factors that wreaked
havoc on our nation’s downtown's for most of the last four decades.
Traffic
engineers and planners are beginning to understand that vibrant downtowns don't
need more cars to zoom through, they need streets that are pedestrian friendly
and that encourage people to explore downtown from a human perspective not just
from inside their car at 40 miles per hour.
To
this end the return to diagonal parking is an effective traffic calming device.
Furthermore,
diagonal parking is a more cost effective way to increase parking capacity than
parking structure or surface lot parking.
A
final observation would be that the return to, or change to, diagonal parking
allows additional parking to be created without disrupting the architectural
integrity of the built environment since no buildings need to be removed in
order to store more cars.

The Downtown Walla Walla Foundation is currently
working with our City to update the city's comprehensive plan. Our goal
is to develop a downtown element within the plan this year that at a minimum
establishes policy for future downtown development. Once this is accomplished
we hope to develop a sub area plan or a zoning overlay for the downtown that
will contain the ordinance and zoning changes needed to implement the policies
identified in the downtown element of the comp plan. We are looking for any
examples of communities that have already done this successfully.
If you have any examples or ideas to share please contact me at:

 | My name is Yoenjoo Jung. I'm an intern working for the
Downtown Lawrence Inc. in Kansas. I'm doing a project which needs information
about how to stabilize rent in downtown Lawrence. Downtown Lawrence is mostly
composed of independent owners, and the history of the downtown starts more than
a centry ago. Due to its unique and historical environment and the fact that the
city has the University of Kansas, many national chains are eager to open in
downtown, and they are willing to pay a lot more rent than what the independent
owners can afford. This raise of rent ends up with high property tax to the
property owners and they want to raise the rent again. Downtown Lawrence Inc.
looks for ways to stop this negative circulation and to keep the characteristics
of downtown. I'd really appreciate it if I could get any information about what
other cities have done in the similar situation regarding their rent and
property tax, any change in their method of appraising properties, and taxation,
or other regulation to keep the downtown unigue. The cities that I've chosen are

Joel,
I have located a number of reports you might find useful.
Just click on the links. My experience with Wal-Mart has not been very pleasant.
They ignore any attempt to get them involved in redevelopment and they are the
only company I have ever dealt with who ignore correspondence at the corporate
level. They do not seem to be very community minded.

Dear Austin,
I just reviewed your posted message on the "doctordowntown"
web site. Our experience in Manchester, NH seems to echo what you are getting
from Jackson and Norfolk. As a virtually new (6 month old) organization in 1996,
we took on the development, construction, and to a large extent, the management
of an outdoor ice rink, with new equipment purchased from Burley's. We were
actually implementing a "big idea" which was included (unfortunately without
much detail as to "how") in an earlier (1993) award-winning downtown plan
completed for the City and Chamber by LDR International. After 3 seasons, about
10,000 visitors each year, my board decided to call it quits. We did not operate
this season. There were several major reasons, the most important one being that
the approximately $10,000 in gross revenue did not cover the approximately
$50,000 construction, take-down, operations, and management costs per 14-week
season. Also, don't know what the weather is like in your part of the country,
but even in snowy New Hampshire the weather has not, over the last 4 years, been
cooperative until after December. I can give you a much more detailed version of
the above if you wish. In the meantime, I have (seriously) a low-mileage,
complete ice rink together with zamboni, snow blower, and other equipment --and
WE ARE DEALING!! This special offer won't last long, so give me a call!! --Rich
