Planning staff recommended extending the Langley Road Triangle plaza pilot and holding related parking changes as a long-term trial so the city can collect more seasonal data and refine implementation. The presentation summarized survey and observational findings and proposed a set of associated parking and circulation measures designed to balance public plaza use with customer and employee parking needs.

Zach Wenel and Hannah Sternberg presented the evaluation: QR-code surveys inside the plaza produced 226 responses with an average satisfaction rating of 4.7 out of 5 and 86% of respondents saying they wanted the plaza to continue; observational counts (52 observations) showed substantial, repeat use at peak times; website and social metrics indicated broad reach; and businesses provided mixed but largely supportive feedback. "We had an average rating of 4.7 for overall satisfaction with the space," Hannah said, and staff highlighted accessibility and business-traffic metrics.

The package included multiple related docket items: extending the plaza trial (TC59-25), converting sections of Lyman Street to one-way with new parking on the north side (TC50-25/TC60-25), relocating 12 employee parking spots into distributed locations (TC61-25), and returning some neighborhood streets to prior rules by making the earlier comprehensive trial 'No Action Necessary' (TC8-25). Planning proposed metered kiosks for new curb spaces, striping a 4-foot buffer where parking abuts a hillside on Lyman Street, and keeping employee parking distributed to improve visibility and usage.

Public comment was split: business owners and the Economic Development Committee (EDC) supported extending the trial and recommended a focused cost-benefit evaluation; several residents raised concerns about spillover parking into Pelham and other neighborhood streets and asked for clearer outreach and maintenance-cost transparency. Residents of Pelham and Dalton urged that neighborhood parking protections be restored where appropriate. After debate and staff responses about snow removal, maintenance costs (staff reported maintenance under $1,000 over six months), and monitoring plans, the council voted to hold TC59-25 and associated Lyman/employee-parking items as long-term trials (each held/approved 5–0) and voted No Action Necessary on the original comprehensive item (TC8-25) so neighborhood streets revert to pretrial rules unless separately docketed.
