Dixon Resources Unlimited | Citywide Parking Study for City of Santa Ana 17 analysis of parking data collected down to the block face and lot level using LPR technology to produce the Rapid LPR Tool. This Tool can support on-going data collection, and monitor parking enforcement efficiency and optimize enforcement resources by identifying locations that would benefit from additional monitoring. The Tool’s proprietary algorithms efficiently and accurately turns LPR data into powerful parking analysis in various tables, charts, and geo-referenced heat maps as PDF reports and as an interactive online dashboard. Our consolidated resources and dashboards will provide the results necessary to remain smart and adaptive for important policy decisions. The Project Team will finalize a data collection methodology with the City that demonstrates optimal collection routes, quality control and assurance, and deliverables to ensure transparency for all data. Parking space inventory is a critical component of the project setup. The project team will review existing resources such as the 2021 Downtown Santa Ana Parking Study and other resources provided by the City. Upon review of these resources, we will leverage existing parking inventory and GIS datasets to incorporate into the Tool. In addition, we will collect a comprehensive parking inventory for up to an additional 1500 block faces that will be identified through Phase 1 in order to produce a total inventory count per block face. We will utilize Google Maps to count marked spaces and measure unmarked curb space to calculate an effective parking inventory. Field counts will be performed in locations with out-of-date information or if unavailable in Google Maps. DIXON will coordinate a demonstration of the leading vehicle-mounted LPR vendors that can leverage a pilot program that gives the City LPR cameras for a six-month trial, in which the City will have the opportunity to purchase the cameras at a pro-rated fee. This LPR pilot provides the added benefit of collecting on-going data at a cost-effective rate while also allowing the City to test mobile LPR for enforcement. The vehicle-mounted LPR pilot will allow the City to collect ongoing data and can expand collection to areas outside of the initial Study Area once the additional areas are setup (inventory, collection routes, maps, etc.).
