June 13, 1990 <br />Dear Chamber of Commerce, County and Town Commissioners, <br />The beginning of a new decade required a fresh look at the long- <br />standing parking problem in Downtown Hillsborough. Therefore, the <br />Chamber of Commerce, Orange County and the Town of Hillsborough created <br />the Hillsborough Parking Committee to analyze our parking problem and <br />to recommend solutions to the above,~odies to offer potential solutions <br />,for this perennial problem. <br />From the first meeting of the Committee on January 10, 1990 to the <br />last meeting on June 13, 1990, the Committee strove to examine all <br />areas and aspects of parking with an eye to recommending these <br />solutions to the sponsoring bodies. <br />Attachaed is the list of goals and recommendations of <br />implementation strategies developed by the Committee. We hope this <br />first list of goals will spur further discussion and additional <br />strategies to improve parking in Hillsborough. Also attached is a map <br />showing parking areas with recommendations as well as an inventory of <br />current solutions. There is additional data concerning the parking <br />situation available for your review in the Town of Hillsborough <br />Planning Office. <br />Parking in Downtown Hillsborough ~is a multi-faceted problem that <br />requires not only multi-faceted solutions but the interest and <br />committment of the Town of Hillsborough, Orange County and the Chamber <br />of Commerce's members to reach a satisfactory solution. <br />It is our hope that within a relatively short period of time many <br />of these strategies can be implemented to immediately correct what we <br />feel are serious parking problems. We understand there are long term <br />solutions but we hope these, too, can be dealt with in a reasonable <br />period of time. <br />With your assistance, we can make Hillsborough an even more <br />pleasant place to visit and conduct business. <br />If you have any questions regarding these recommendations, please <br />consult your representative listed below for assistance. <br />Thank you for your considration, help and time. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />THE HILLSBOROUGH PARKING COMMITTEE <br />Ted Latta, Chairman <br />Bob Rose, Hillsborough Commissioner <br />Hunt McRinnon, Hillsborough Historic <br />District Commission Chairman <br />John Link, Orange County Manager <br />Larry Biggs, Hillsborough Police Chief <br />Janet Rigsbee, Hillsborough Planner <br />George~Horton, Chamber of Commerce, Pres. <br />Louie Callemyn, Chamber of Commerce <br />
