The city should increase the number of cars that can be parked at Hillman garage when it time to rebuild it. There should be a parking management system put in place so that visitors to Annapolis know the location of the cheapest parking choices to the most expensive parking choices, as well as how many spaces are available at each location. Keep the circulator so that the visitors parking in the outer garages have easy access to downtown. The city needs to communicate to visitors through road signs and phone apps operated by the parking management on where the parking garages are in Annapolis.
Once we have addressed our parking needs then we address the green spaces near the waterfront as well as the flooding problems.
Baby steps but steps all the same.

The city should keep the rec center and covert it to a garage. Revenue generating. We need to have parking before we have green space. No parking will destroy our downtown. It will kill the business. Green space, once we settle the parking issue.

No parking downtown is revenue suicide. Most folks today are over weight and in no way fit. After one hike down the hill from Lawyers Mall and back up, and you'll not see them again.
I think the optimum approach would be to limit traffic for the areas South of College and East of Duke of Gloucester to ONLY Residents, Business deliveries and Emergency Vehicles. Gate #1 Navy traffic would be the only exception. All others park at the Stadium, and take a shuttle to Lawyers Mall and the Market House. All others includes employees and residential guests.
Buy the navy land adjacent to the Md State Archives on Rowe Blvd., build a parking garage and operate the shuttle out of that parking facility.

Agree there needs to be a compromise of parking and improved venues. As long as we have businesses at the city dock they will need access for deliveries and pick ups. To comment on the Capital's articles obviously the city planner has never visited Provincetown Ma.

an alternative answer to this survey should have included a "meet in the middle" option where a configuration of parking or dual use space popular in many "open space projects" can and have worked.
The option provided are too black and white for the extreme opinions
