3 <br /> Memorandum <br /> TO: Employees in the Whiffed Building <br /> From: John Link, County Manager <br /> RE: Parking Plan for Whitted <br /> Date: May 15, 2002 <br /> As many of you know, there will be some exciting improvements occurring at the Whitted <br /> Building in the near future, including: <br /> • The installation of a new heating and air conditioning system; <br /> • The renovation of the clinic area of the Health Department; and <br /> • The long-awaited paving of some of your parking areas. <br /> You will be hearing more about the heating and air conditioning system replacement and other <br /> renovation projects as their commencement date gets closer. However, I wanted to share <br /> some good news about the parking situation with you now. <br /> Plans are currently underway to design and pave the parking lots on Hassell Street across from <br /> the bus parking lot and the east parking lot off of Tryon Street. We will also be making <br /> improvements to the bus parking lot and the rear lot off of Hassell Street, although they are not <br /> targeted for paving. We will move forward with the bidding of the project following approvals by <br /> the Town of Hillsborough and the NC Erosion Control (April/May). We estimate that the County <br /> Commissioners should approve the project such that work can commence in July with <br /> completion within 30-45 days. <br /> In the meantime, there is an immediate need to address the parking at your building. You are <br /> probably all aware that citizens have sent a petition to the County recently because of their <br /> inability to find adequate parking. In order to provide some organization to the parking situation <br /> and to render a higher level of service to our customers, I asked members of my Staff and <br /> Department Heads at your facility to recommend a parking plan for the facility. I endorsed the <br /> resulting plan that will go into effect on June 3, 2002 as follows: <br /> • The OPT buses have been re-located to the Public Works compound <br /> • Appropriate signage will be posted by the Public Works Department <br /> designating the following parking areas as "Public Parking Only": <br /> • Hassell Street lot across from the bus parking lot (to be paved); and <br /> ■ The existing bus parking lot (to be improved). <br /> • Appropriate signage will be posted by the Public Works Department <br /> designating the following parking areas as "Employee Parking": <br /> • The east parking lot off of Tryon Street (to be paved); ;and <br /> • The rear parking lot off of Hassell Street (to be improved). <br />
