2. Lubbock provides 52 parking spaces per 1,000 persons o . The average for cities having populations between 100,000 and 250,000 is 3S parking spaces per 1,000 persons.
3. It is estimated that there has been a net increase of 943 parking spaces in the C.B.D. area since 1955. 4. The meter rates in the fringe-area need to be adjusted. Two hours for five cents should be considered. 5. In some locations, one hour meters need to be replaced with two hour meters.

7~ The number of courtesy parking tickets issued have increased from 23,917 in 1955 to 25,402 in 1959. - S. Pedestrian signal indications should be installed in the CoBoDo to reduce pedestrian and vehicular conflicts at the intersection. 90 Turn restrictions during peak hours should be considered.
100 Additional studies and surveys need to be conducted to provide better traffic movement in the CoBoDo SECTION II - PARKING
In this section on parking, we have assembled some pertinent facts on the current parking conditions in the downtown area, on which we have based recommended changes that should be considered at the present timeo Other studies were also conducted to show what is happening in the downtown area as to the parking situatione This section is not intended to serve as a parking survey in this areao Table I shows the present number of parking spaces available at the curb and in off-street areas.

Pedestrian Signals, , Based on pedestrian counts recently conducted at key intersections in the downtown area, the following intersections are recommended to be installed with pedestrian "Walk", and "Wait" Signals: (a) Broadway and Avenue L (b) Broadway and Avenue K (c) Broadway, and Avenue J (d) Broadway and Texas Avenue ( e) Main and Texas Avenue (f) Texas and 13th Street (g) Avenue, J and 13th Street • (h) Avenue L and 13th Street ( i) Avenue K and 13th Street If properly observed, these signals would eliminate some of the conflict now existing between the pedestrian and vehicular traffic at these intersections. I 20 TurnRestrictions Turn restrictions should be placed into effect during peak hours of traffic movement at the following intersections~ NO RIGHT TURN (a) Avenue J and Broadway - South bound traffic on Avenue J turning right onto Broadway. (b ) Avenue J and Broadway - East bound traffic on Broadway turning right onto Avenue J 0 (c) Avenue L and Broadway - East bound traffic on Broadway turning right onto Avenue Lo • • liTO LEFT TURN (a) Avenue L and Broadway - West bound traffid on Broadway turning south onto Avenue Lo (b) Avenue L and Broadway - East bound traffic on Broadway turning north onto Avenue Lo (c) Avenue K and Broadway ~ East bound traffic on Broadway turning north onto Avenue K. Turning vehicles (both ways) conflict ldth pedestrian movements and, therefore, blocks the movement of vehicles behind themo Turn restrictions would also eliminate, some of the traffic that is "crusing" in the downtown area for various reasons. These restrictions could be placed into effect by the Police Department by using portable signs at the intersectiono 8TH ST. 8TH ST. Proposed Walk-Wait .., Signals 9TH ST. 9TH ST. POLICE OOFC STAT.

It is recommended that the following studies be conducted: , 1. In 1950 the State Highway Department completed an Origin and Destination Survey for the City of Lubbock. The Origin and Destination Survey is very important in planning for the traffic needs for the present and also for the future 0 With the increasing growth of the city since 1950, we can expect also the traffic pattern to have changed considerably. The assistance of the State Highway Department should be secured in conducting another Origin and Destination Study. 20 A Parking Survey should be conducted in the downtown area since the last survey was taken in 19550 During the past five years, we have experienced a change in our parking situation in the downtown area. 3. A complete study of the One Way Street system. To determine the need for the extention of the existing One Way Street system. = Replacement of Traffic Signals that are attached to posts in the downtown area that was formerly used for street lighting purposes should be placed on standard signal postso This replacement would effect the following: a. Less Maintenance b. Improvement of Appearance of Signals See next page for approximate cost to replace posts in the downtown area.
