RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité des transports recommande au Conseil de prendre connaissance du rapport annuel 2016 du Service du stationnement.
BACKGROUND
The Municipal Parking Management Strategy, approved by City Council in 2009, requires that the Municipal Parking Management Program (the City’s paid parking program) report on the following:
• Annual Budget – Approved by Council annually;
• Capital Program Plan – Approved by Council; updated as required; and,
• Annual Report – Received and reviewed by Council annually.
The Annual Budget and Capital Program Plan was approved by Council in December 2016 with the adoption of the 2017 Transportation Committee Operating and Capital Budget.
This report fulfills the Annual Report reporting requirements and also provides an update on the 2017 Work Plan for the Municipal Parking Management Program.
DISCUSSION
Municipal Parking Management Program Overview
The City of Ottawa provides paid public parking through the Municipal Parking Management Program. Delivered by the Parking Services Unit, part of the Roads Services Branch in the Public Works and Environmental Services Department, the Municipal Parking Management Program is mandated to provide public parking services that are in alignment with the goals and objectives of the Municipal Parking Management Strategy.
As of December 31, 2016, Parking Services manages:
• 3,861 paid on-street parking spaces;
• 2,861 off-street spaces in 6 parking structures and 12 surface parking lots; and,
• 2,774 ring and post and off-street bicycle parking spaces.
The Municipal Parking Management Strategy requires that the Municipal Parking Management Program be financially self-sustaining as a whole. This means that parking revenues must be sufficient to entirely recover all related operating and capital lifecycle maintenance expenditures including contributions to the Parking Reserve Fund to finance future parking system development, operation, and promotion. The Parking Reserve Fund 2016 year-end balance was $19.3 million.
2017 Work Plan
The following projects and initiatives were planned for and have been initiated in 2017. This is consistent with the work plan that was prepared and presented to the Parking Stakeholders Consultation Group earlier this year. Each initiative is in alignment with the goals and objectives of the Municipal Parking Management Strategy and Transportation Master Plan. All were budgeted for as per the 2017 Operating and Capital Budget for Parking Services, as adopted by Council in December 2016.
• Kitchissippi Parking Strategy (finalize and implement)
• Central Library Development Project – Parking Requirements Assessment
• Central Area Parking Study (West)
• On-Street Occupancy & Compliance Surveys
• Off-Street Rate Review Program
• Local Area Parking Assessments and Monitoring (including Old Ottawa South and Vanier)
• Parking Guidance System Phase II / Visual Identity Refresh and Signage Installation (City Hall and 210 Gloucester Street)

• Municipal Parking Management Strategy Update (initiate)
• Wayfinding Signage Policy
2016 Annual Report
The 2016 Annual Report, included as Document 1, outlines the initiatives and accomplishments achieved by Parking Services in 2016 and demonstrates how they are in alignment with the Municipal Parking Management Strategy. It presents an inventory of all on and off-street parking facilities and includes a summary of changes to paid parking areas that have been made over the past year.
It also reports on the use of delegated authority for 2016 as per the delegation of authority by-law (by-law 2016-369), Schedule I:
• 13 (3) – Municipally-Managed Parking Rates – Off-Street
• 14 (2) – Municipally-Managed Parking Rates – On-Street
Finally, the 2016 Annual Report measures performance through 12 key business indicators. They are in alignment with the Municipal Parking Management Strategy and representative of a series of performance objectives outlined in the Parking Services Performance Measurement Program. The chosen measures are consistent with previous Annual Reports.
