Downtown parking subject of new survey

Committee OKs questions for public input on parking issue

In an effort to better serve the community and visitors to the downtown area, the City of Bartlesville has tasked the volunteer-driven Street and Traffic Committee with evaluating existing downtown parking practices and possibilities for improvement, Director of Engineering Micah Siemers said recently.

“In an effort to better serve the community and visitors to the downtown area, the City has tasked the volunteer-driven Street and Traffic Committee with evaluating existing downtown parking practices and possibilities for improvement,” Siemers said. “The committee has worked to come up with questions that we believe will provide useful information and help in making decisions regarding downtown parking in the future.”

The survey is available at Survey Monkey, https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YNNKLHR.

The survey, which includes 16 questions and takes just minutes to complete, attempts to determine the current level of satisfaction with downtown parking, maximum time limits, where most people are parking on a regular basis, and which measures are most likely to deter violations.

“It is important that everyone participate in this survey so City leaders can best determine if improvements to downtown parking are needed and, if so, which services would best fit citizens’ needs,” Siemers said.

The survey will be available through July 31. For more information, contact the engineering department at 918.338.4251.
