Mr. Cunniffe likes this and said it’s responsive to the pushback people have given. Ms. Davis said it’s a positive change. Ms. Tanaka agreed that striping will help. Ms. Schupp spoke about safety through parking enforcement. Ms. Davis asked about bikers. Councilor Hauenstein said he had asked for no bikes in that area, but there wasn’t enough support from the rest of council. You have to protect yourself at all times in that area. Ms. Davis said it’s really scary as a driver because the bikes don’t stop and just go through the intersections. Councilor Hauenstein said state law is that bikes can treat stop signs at a yield. Ms. Tanaka said e-bikes have changed the game too. Councilor Hauenstein said CCLC should weigh in on e-bike regulations in the future. Ms. Schupp spoke about consolidating and digitizing parking permit types to better understand data and needs. Ms. Raj entered the meeting at 9:00 a.m. Councilor Hauenstein asked about using hotel parking. Mr. Rice said that is not going to move the needle although they have been talking to the hotels for a long time. Ms. Schupp spoke about parking permit pricing and other TDM Measures. She said Jackson Hole caps available parking permits for lodge guests and charges market rates with subsidies available to carpoolers. A permit system would reduce demand and recover costs and encourage other modes of travel. Ms. Schupp spoke about app-based user communications for enhanced parking guidance for users to reduce frustration and congestion in core areas. The board said they like this idea. She spoke about 2 REGULAR MEETING COMMERCIAL CORE & LODGING COMMISSION APRIL 3, 2024 service standards and route review. For example, Ft. Collins has adopted service standards and a metric- based route and fare change policy. Ms. Raj mentioned a Woody Creek bus. This is something which Bill always spoke about as well. Ms. Schupp spoke about the Downtowner and KPI’s. The board loved a possible expansion of the Downtowner. She said they are also looking at “hubbing” the Downtowner pick up and drop off. They would set hubs for a two block walk max for any rider. She spoke about carshare expansion and e-cargo bike fleets for zero emission deliveries. She concluded the presentation at 9:45 a.m. so the board could address their next agenda item. Block Captain Discussion: Ms. Tanaka suggested sending an email along with the google sheet with questions such as, “how was the season”. She said she will email the questions, and this will be our focus for the next meeting. The board agreed they would cancel the May 1st meeting to work on the project. Mr. Cunniffe motioned to adjourn; Ms. Raj seconded. All in favor, motion carried.
