DESIGN Public Parking Management PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS GOAL PROPOSAL Sign all public lots. Use the standard blue “P” signs. Existing lots are not clearly signed for drivers as they look for a place to park. While there are numerous public spaces that are free, it is unclear where they are and how they work. The standard blue P signs give a strong visual cue to find parking and the signs can be augmented with basic information like “2 HOUR” or “FREE” to help drivers understand the rules. This is a standard found in the US and abroad. The locations chosen to be signed are all of the public lots in downtown Pawtucket, this includes: • Lot at Broad Street and Humes Street • Lot at Dexter Street and Ferland Way • Lot at Broadway and Exchange Street • Lot on Summer Street next to the library • Lot at Roosevelt Avenue and Exchange Street • Main Street Garage See the following pages as well as the large downtown plan for sign locations and orientations on the lots listed above. GOAL PROPOSAL Reduce heat island effect and better define lot edges Add trees to edges of parking lots Surface parking lots reduce the sense of density in downtown and add vast areas of absorptive surfaces that increase the urban heat island effect. The city should add trees to the edges of lots and internally in lots during replacement projects to add to the overall downtown tree canopy and help define lots edges to increase a sense of density. Deciduous trees will increase shading during summer months cooling people and remaining pavement and offer sunlight during cold winter months to do the opposite. See the following pages as well as the large downtown plan for tree locations, organization and spacing on the lots listed above. See Landscape Recommendation (page*). 84 PDDP DESIGN
