Members:
PMP-2003-1 - Niagara Falls People Mover Project
- Parking Strategy Study
October 20, 2003
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Niagara Falls People Mover Parking Strategy Study be approved and that thereafter all
necessmy steps to implement the Study be taken.
BACKGROUND:
Enclosed is a copy of the Niagara Falls People Mover Parking Strategy Study prepared by the IBI
Group together with an Executive S~ thereof. Representatives of the IBI Group will be
present this afternoon to make a presentation.
As Council is aware, the IBI Group was engaged (at the expense of Falls Management Company) to
prepare this report since it was deemed critical to the ultimate success of the project that parking
strategies be devised to support ridership in order to enhance the potential economic viab'flity of the
project - given the Partners' (the City, OLGC and NPC) position that the project would be financed
and operated by a private sector partner as part of a public/private partnership without further cost
or risk to the City.
At the Community Services Committee meeting on April 7, 2003, a preliminary draft of the report
was reviewed in general terms with the Community Services Committee. At that time, the following
points were made:
About 90% of the people who visit Niagara Falls arrive in automobiles that need to be parked.
Accordingly, converting "parkers" of motor vehicles into "riders" of the system is a key
challenge.
To complement the People Mover System and to maxinuz' e ridership capture, it is necessary
to develop and implement a parking strategy. It has been recognized that the location, supply
and management of parking facilities will be a key to the success of the People Mover.
-2-
Having supported and approved the Official Plan, Environmental Assessment and the
acquisition of the lands for this Project, it is now critical for the City to implement a parking
strategy to provide for the support of the economics of the Project so that it can occur and
also to protect the investment that the local taxpayers have made. Unless ridership is
supported by a rational parking strategy, it is unlikely that private investmem in the Project
will occur.
Subsequently, IBI, Totten Sims Hubicki and the Project Director visited with each of the major local
private stakeholders in the tourist area on an individual basis to discuss the draft Parking Strategy.
In light of the importance of the report, it was the Director's view that these direct consultations with
interested local parties were necessary. Accordingly, there were over 10 such consultations and while
this exercise delayed the final preparation of the report, it was an extremely worthwhile effort
providing us with valuable input that resulted in a number of positive changes to the draft report.
At its meeting on September 29, 2003, the Steering Committee for this Project unanimously approved
the report and directed that it be forwarded to City Council for approval. The membership of the
Steering Committee includes the Mayor, the CAO, the President of OLGC, the President of FMC,
the Chairman and General Manager of NPC and the Project Director.
Copies of the report and the Executive Summary thereof were forwarded to all of the major local
tourism stakeholders as well as the Tourism BIAs and Visitor and Convention Bureau on October
8, 2003. As a result, the attached 2 letters from the Lundy's Lane BIA and from HOCO Limited
were received. The comments contained in these 2 letters can be reconciled with appropriate changes
to the report.
As Council is aware, recently the City received approval fi'om the Federal Government for Canada
Strategic Infrastructure Funding for this Project in the amount of $25n~ In reviewing the City's
application for this funding, Federal Government representatives made it clear that they regard the
implementation of a supporting parking strategy as an important component in relation to their grant.
As Council is also aware, the RFQ (Request for Qualifications) part of the process for this Project
has now been concluded. Six groups have been qualified to participate in the next phase of the
process, being the RFP (Request for Proposals). Among the six groups that have been qualified are
some of the largest companies involved in transportation projects world wide including Bombardier,
Siemens, SNC-Lavalin, Mitsubishi and others. These groups have indicated to us the importance
of a parking strategy to sustain the viab'flity of any proposal for this project that may make.
Accordingly, the enclosed report represents the work of the consultant with input fi'om the Partners
and various major local private stakeholders who were consulted during the course of its preparation.
The authors of the report have attempted to reconcile, to the greatest extent possible, the views of
various interests that were presented to it while at the same time maintaining the basic principle that
parking strategies are needed to support ridership in order to enhance the potential economic viability
of the Project thereby protecting the City's investment.
-3-
The report, if approved by City Council, is a strategic document that will still require further actions
in order to implement the strategies.

Dear Ed
Re: Nianata Falls People Mover/Parkine S~'ateev Study
Inasmuch as the People Mover Project includes ~ intc~ated eecond~ system for
Lundya Lane -see RPQ (Ralucst For Qualifications) Appc~dix 'B" Pegc 3 of 4, it would
be appropriate to include cartain relcvant is~uce in thc Parking Stmeg7 Study dated
October 3, 2003,
More specifically, certain relevant issues are as follows:
~ Overnight Lundys Lane guests a~e already padced~in' an ~atinmted 3000 parking
spaces at Lundys !-~ne hotels, motels and campgrounds. The "seamless" People
Mover bus sT~tem will succea~uHy ,turn a majority of these "parkers" into 'driers".
NB. Without ~t Lundys Lane People Move~ System, parking demand wouM be
increased by tim estimated 3000 parking p~ as well as placing ndditiomd vehicular
pressure in the core ~
~' 'Pass Distribution and Sales' will be handled conveniently and efficiently at hotel and
campground reception desks. NB. Pricing strategies could be the same ns for 'parking
lots'.
)~ 'Guide and Information Signing' will be disseminated effe~ively at Lundys Lane
hotels, motds and campgrounds.
~. The Lundys Lane People Mover shuttle route should be addres~l with regards to
proposed People Mover Parking Lot and Staion locations.
Thank you for ~onsideriag the importance and benefit of including this i~formation in the
People Mover Parking S~,~a~egy Study,

Dear Mr. Mayor:
Re: Cash-in-Lieu of Parking Agreement with the
City of Niagara Falls
Your File No. 2002-218 of 5697-5701 Victoria
Ave., Niagara Falls
We would like you to review our agreement for the following reasons.
1. As the nature of planned expansion to the building would not increase
the parking demand
because the use will be limited to the additional storage on the back
and would not generate
additional traffic to the building.
2. Our business is souvenirs sale and there are several souvenirs shop in
the vicinity, people do
not drive specially to come to the store for this kind of shopping.
3. At the time of signing this agreement it seemed to be the only option
was practical other than
providing parking on-site which was not possible.
4. Recently we came to know that the Council has considered and agreed to
the option of
conducting a parking demand study for a specific site in the same
area. I would request the
Council to allow an objective look at the parking requirement for our
business too.
5. The proposed renovations to our existing building has just begun and it
will be several months,
in fact, before they are complete.
We request to the Council an option to allow us to work with City staff to
conduct a parking demand
study for our property, as allowed other developers nearby. If parking
demand study verifies in
our favor, we request you to amend our current cash-in-lieu agreement.
Thanking you in advance for your co-operation.

Sign By-law Variances Shoppers Drug Mart
3643 Portage Rd. (Town & Country Plaza)
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommend the approval of the sign by-law variances to Council.
BACKGROUND:
The applicants have recently renovated an existing building to accommodate a Shoppers Drug Mart
and are proposing to install eight wall signs using individual letters and graphics in keeping with
their national advertising program. Basically there are four signs on the east wall ( total 524 sq.fi),
three on the north wall( total 502sq.fi.) and one on the south face( total 341sq.fi.). The by-law
permits a maximum of 6 signs on the building not to exceed 150 sq.ft, or 10% of the building face.
The proposal meets the intent of the by-law in that the signs equal approximately 15% or less of
each wall area and are not obtrusive in design.

Sign By-law Variance
Oakwood Drive Business Community
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommends the approval of the requested variances and the use of
Municipal property to Council.
BACKGROUND:
Staffhas been working with the business owners located on the southem portion of Oakwood Drive
in an attempt to create better access and visibility for their operations. They are proposing to erect
a directory type ground sign at the south west comer of McLeod Road and Oakwood Drive on
municipal property. A preliminary concept plan is attached. However, Council's approval of the
location and the possible variances to the by-law is required prior to finalizing the design.
The height of the sign could increase dependant on the number of businesses who become involved,
the maximum height permitted by the by-law is 25 feet. In this instance the maximum height should
be amended to 30 feet. Also, the maximum size ora sign permitted is 200 square feet, whereas this
sign could possibly be 300 square feet or less.
The required agreements, leases, insurance, permits, Ministry of Transport approval and maintenance
will be the responsibility of the business group with the cooperation of staff.

Acceptance of RFP #P42-2003 for the Supply and Installation
of On-Street Pay and Display Equipment and Software
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that RFP #P42-2003 for the Supply and Installation of On-Street Pay and
Display Equipment and Software be awarded to Parksmart Inc..
BACKGROUND:
A 5-year implementation plan has been developed to complete the replacement of antiquated
parking meters within the tourist and downtown core. Due to the rapid change in technology, an
annual RFP (Request for Proposal) will be submitted to qualified companies to ensure that the
machines purchased annually are state-of-the-art with reduced potential for premature
redundancy.
Pay & Display technology provides the following features not provided by parking meters:
· credit card acceptance
· Tax receipt and complete auditing capability
· reduced maintenance and coin collection costs
· ability to change parking rates without the costly upgrade costs
statistical analysis
· advanced security features to reduce potential of vandalism and theft
remote monitoring for quicker maintenance response
limited occurrence of coins not registering
ability to promote goods and services in a particular BIA area through changeable ticket
parameters

This year an RFP type submission with an upset limit of $140,000.00 plus taxes was requested.
The RFP outlined minimum standards required to satisfy the City's requirements (Appendix A).
In addition, it also outlined the evaluation criteria (Appendix B) for selection of the successful
bidder. Therefore, it is not necessarily the company that supplies the most equipment that is
successful, it is dependent on the suitability of the project. Typically, an RFP process is used
over a tender process to identify those companies that have more to offer that just price alone.
A total of six companies responded to the RFP with a wide array of options. The companies who
submitted RFP's are as follows:
1) Electromega - Oakville, Ont.
2) Lexis Systems - Richmond, B.C.
3) MacKay Meters Canada - Scarborough, Ont.
4) Parksmart Inc. - Mississauga, Ont.
5) Precise Parklink - Toronto, Ont.
6) TCS International - Toronto, Ont.

An Evaluation Committee made up of the Manager of Traffic and Parking Services, Manager of
Traffic Operations and the Supervisor of Traffic and Parking Field Services reviewed the
proposals. The evaluation was completed utilizing the attached evaluation criteria (Appendix
'B'). As illustrated in Appendix 'B', ParkSmart Inc. has been selected as the company best
suited to meet the City's On-Street Pay and Display needs, even though their proposal did not
offer the most machines.
The Committee's concurrence with the recommendations outlined in this report would be
appreciated.

Skate Park Development Tender TR4 -2003
Works in Progress Report
RECOMMENDATION:
That the additional funds associated with the development of the Skate Park in the amount of
$95,000.00 (GST extra ) be approved.
BACKGROUND:
The skate park site is situated on the City owned lands of the new Community Centre complex at
the north/east comer of Montrose Road and McLeod Road. At the time of tendering for the skate
park, construction staff had a general Geoteclmical Report that was completed for the Community
Centre building site with a further detailed report to be finalized once the skate park excavation had
been completed by IMS (Integrated Municipal Systems) under a separate City contract.
At the June 2, 2003 Council Meeting, Council awarded the Skate Park Development Contract Tender
TR4-2003 to Centennial Construction Limited in the amount of $217,359.80.
On June 23, 2003, the City received the results of amore detailed Geotechnical Report fi.om Jagger
Hims Limited relating directly to the Skate Park. The report recommended that more granular sub-
base be installed along with a geotextile fabric to create a stable base for the skate park. The City
received prices for this additional work fi.om Centennial Construction Limited and found that the
costs for this extra sub-base exceeded our budget by approximately $75,000. The skate park
development will likely be completed in late Spring 2004 due to the delays resulting from the
removal of the fill material on the Community Centre site by IMS.

The following are the additional costs associated with the development of this skate park facility as
a result of the findings from the Geotechnical Report.
a. Additional Sub-base and geotextile material $ 75,000
b. Geotechnical and Vibration Testing Report $ 5,000
c. Contingency $15,000
Total costs associated with the results of the Geotechnical Report: $95,000
Funding for these additional costs are recommended to come from the 2004 operating budget.
