4. Parking Strategies (DH)
Mr. Hoover updated the Committee on a potential agreement with a third party
consultant to conduct a parking study in Downtown. The goal of the study would be to
assess current parking inventory, estimate future needs based on anticipated
development, and recommend short, mid, and long-term strategies to address parking
in Downtown Prosper. The cost for the study is estimated at $10,000-$12,000 if the
Town provided some of the data. The Committee concurred with the recommendation
to move forward with obtaining a proposal for the study.

5. Long -Term Plan (RB)
This item was brought forward from the last DTAC meeting. Ms. Battle asked the
Committee to specify what they would like to see in a Long -Term Plan. The Committee
concurred that a facilitated discussion related to parking, future projects, programming,
economic development, roads, infrastructure, and wayfinding would be helpful. They
would also like to discuss potential uses for the EDC-owned land, connectivity to
Downtown from the nearby multifamily complex, and how recent development differs
from what was projected in the Downtown Master Plan. A community survey was also
discussed. The Committee was in favor of holding a Special Meeting for this discussion.
