9. Portland does not ban overnight parking, but has a lex and ictive set of regul for allowing ight parking on public streets

10. See Nowe #9 above. These restrictions include allowing for over might parking on alternating sides of the street en different districts

11. Portland has 12 defined RPP Zones, all defined by City Council.

12. AS noted previously, Portland has a elaborate set of regulations defining under what conditions overnight parking is allowed

13. Parking in any free areas is limited to 72 hours maximum, Metered areas are enforced from 9am to 3pm, with an escalation rate swuclure aber 3 hours.

17. Rochester has 14 distinct Residential Parking Permit areas

18. Under special circumstances, the City will grant very limited overnight parking passes ("Omit Tags") to individuals demonstrating temporary hie.

In addition to Nashua, Portland, Maine and West Hartford both had programs which allowed for overnight
parking on public streets within the framework of a permit. West Hartford’s program offered only
temporary permits for those applicants demonstrating need criteria as well as residency; the permits were
referred to as “Omit Tags” because they instructed patrolling parking officers to ‘omit’ the holder from
sanction as long as the permit was in effect. Applicants for these permits could apply for them virtually
via web portal on the City of West Hartford’s website and qualified recipients did not receive a credential
but had their vehicle license plate added to the City’s “do not cite” fist.

Portland, Maine offered permanent permits for overnight in nine defined zones across the city within an
elaborately structured program. Under this program, and depending on the zone, participants were
required to park on either the odd or even side of the street during certain prescribed hours of particular
days during the month, leaving the other side of the street open for snow removal and street
maintenance. In all but one of the zones, these requirements were in place from October 1 through May
31 each year; in the ninth zone, they were in effect the year round. No vehicle without a permit was
allowed to park overnight in these areas. The requirement to clear certain sides of the street on certain
days was in effect in most zones 11:30 PM or 12:00 AM to 7:00 AM the following day, with the exception
of one area where prohibitions were in effect from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on certain days. It should be
noted that these permits did NOT allow holders to park on-street during snow emergencies when all
vehicles were required to clear public roadways.

Seven of the ten communities studied had some form of Residential Parking Permit (RPP) program in
place. While Albany, New York did not have a prohibition to overnight parking on downtown streets, it
has established three different RPP zones in neighborhoods abutting downtown which restrict parking on
the street to RPP holders only from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays. The requirement for permits during
overnight hours and weekends was not in effect for these zones. Ann Arbor, Michigan inversely allows for
overnight parking in downtown streets without a permit, but requires a permit in eight neighborhoods to
park on street at any time. In these zones, non-permit holders may only park up to two hours without
being ticketed.

4. CITY OF NASHUA REPRESENTATIVE The City of Nashua may designate a City of Nashua
representative for this contract. If designated, all notices, project materials, requests by
Professional Engineer, and any other communication about the contract shall be addressed or be
delivered to the City of Nashua Representative.

5. CHANGES TO SCOPE OF WORK The City of Nashua may, at any time, by written order, make
changes to the general scope, character, or cost of this contract and in the services or work to be

tasks, for the City of Nashua to be able to adequately analyze the proposal. The City of Nashua
will then determine in writing if Professional Engineer should proceed with any or all of the
proposed change. If the change causes an increase or a decrease in Professional Engineer's cost
or time required for performance of the contract as a whole, an equitable adjustment shall be
made and the contract accordingly modified in writing. Any claim of Professional Engineer for
adjustment under this clause shall be asserted in writing within 30 days of the date the City of

approval of a change when the City of Nashua, in its sole discretion, determines that time is
critical or public health and safety are of concern. Any verbal approval shall be confirmed in
writing as soon as practicable. Any change undertaken without prior City of Nashua approval
shall not be compensated and is, at the City of Nashua's election, sufficient reason for contract
termination.

DESMA

Concord, Manchester and Portsmouth all have RPP programs in place. Concord’s zones are in residential
neighborhoods abutting the main downtown core and State Capitol complex. Manchester's RPP are in
residential neighborhoods near commercial districts and were established by City Council in collaboration
with Mayor. Portsmouth recently completed a pilot program in one neighborhood and is studying
expansion of the program into adjacent areas.

Of the communities studied, only Meridian, Idaho appears to have no regulations pertaining to the use of
on-street parking at any time. This is curious as Meridian has a higher population density than Nashua and
comparable housing density, median income, and driving share. Conversations with the representatives
from the city’s Police Department and Department of Community Development indicate that competition
for curbside parking in limited by abundant development of off-street parking facilities adjacent to every
land use per local zoning code. However, both officials noted that parking is becoming a constant issue as
Meridian continues to grow and densify and that they anticipate having to institute greater regulation in
the near future to govern use of curbside assets.

As noted previously, Albany and Ann Arbor allow for free overnight parking on downtown streets without
a permit, but both cities also have RPP programs in place for residential districts abutting those
downtowns. In addition, both Albany and Ann Arbor have aggressive metering programs in place for on-
street parking outside their RPP zones during daytime hours to compel turnover. Enforcement of these
regulations in both cities is rigorous and fines are substantial for violations.

DIMENSIONAL CONSIDERSATIONS

Any manner of on-street parking, regardless of regulations and rules, can only exist if there is adequate
space along the roadway to allow for parking and safe passage of traffic. As a general rule, parking spaces
are between 8’ and 9’ in width and travel fanes are between 10’ and 11’ in width, so for a one-way street
with parallel parking along just one side, a minimum roadway with of 18’ to 20’ is required. Changing the
angle of the parking stalls, adding additional lanes of travel, and/or adding parking along both sides of the
roadway will further increase the dimensional requirements for roadway width.

The structure of the roadway along its length also will impact how many vehicles might be parked along
a particular length. As a general rule, there must be at least 20’ of contiguous, uninterrupted space along
the curb to accommodate one parallel parking space. Both the minimum width of a paralle! parking space
and its length are determined by the typical vehicle width and tength, plus allowances for lateral
clearances to open the vehicle’s door without interrupting flaw along the adjacent travel lane on the
driver’s side, reasonable clearances between the vehicle and the curb on the passenger side, and
clearances to allow for the movement of vehicles in and out of each space. Studies of U.S. vehicle sales
over the last two decades have shown that the majority of all vehicles on the road across the country are
6.5’ wide by 17.5’ long or smaller. These dimensions represent the 85" percentile vehicle size of all
vehicles in operation within the United States which is consistent with a large SUV such as a Ford
Expedition or Chevrolet Suburban.

The linear run of contiguous, uninterrupted space along the curb will define how many vehicles may be
parked along that block face. At block face with 100’ of uninterrupted, contiguous curb can conceptually
park up to five vehictes based on a standard of 8’ x 20’ per space. In actual practice, the block face may
only suppert more or less vehicles depending on the size of each vehicle and the skill of each driver. In
urban centers where parking spaces are not individually delineated, vehicle sizes are smaller than the 85"

percentile, and drivers are practiced at parallel parking, it possible that up to seven cars might be parked
in the same 100’. Inversely, four large vehicles parked carelessly with several feet of separation between
each could fill the same 100’ block face, even though there is enough linear distance to support five
spaces.

Any interruption in the curb will further reduce the practical parking capacity of a length of roadway. Using
the example of the 100’ curb face, if there is a driveway of 10’ in width in the middle of the block, that
would reduce the 100’ of uninterrupted space into two segments of 45’ in length each, reducing the
practical capacity to just four vehicles at an assumed set aside of 20’ per space. The addition of second
driveway on the same block could easily reduce practical capacity to just three vehicles, even if it is only
10’ in width, because it would further reduce the total number of uninterrupted 20’ lengths of open curb
space along the block face.

Other factors which impact the amount of uninterrupted, contiguous space along a curb face include
minimum setbacks from various structures. Some of these setbacks are prescribed to preserve the
efficient flow of traffic within the community, including emergency and service vehicles. As a general rule,
most communities mandate no vehicle may park within a certain distance of an intersections to
accommodate the wider turning movements of long wheelbase vehicles such as fire engines, ambulances,
snow plows, and garbage trucks. Other setbacks, such as prescribed ‘no parking’ areas adjacent to fire
hydrants, exist to assure quick and easy access to resources during emergencies.

Other setbacks such as required ‘no parking’ areas to either side of a curb cut for a driveway or alley exist
to preserve site lines for drivers so they can see oncoming traffic along the roadway from a safe vantage
point within the driveway or alleyway. Without these setbacks, individuals could park right up to the edge
of the curb cut, requiring drivers attempting exit the driveway or alleyway to pull into the roadway to see
if oncoming traffic is present before pulling out.

DESMAN reviewed the code of ordinances and zoning code for Nashua as well as the ten comparable
communities for required setbacks from crosswalks; stop signs or traffic signals; driveways; alleyways;
intersections without crosswalks, stop signs, or traffic signals; fire hydrants; and other structures.
DESMAN also collected information, where available, on dimension standard for parallel parking space,
travel lanes in roadways, and other pertinent regulations pertaining to parking on public streets. Where
there were no clear regulations regarding these items, DESMAN noted this category as “n/a”. A summary
of this research is shown in Table 3.

As the table shows, there are currently regulations in Nashua dictating setbacks from signs and signals,
driveways, intersections, and fire hydrants. Article XIl of the Nashua Cade of Ordinances also carries
multiple sections (320-61, 320-62, 320-64, 320-69, 320-70) which dictate where parking may or may not
