Goal 5-Involve the community In the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update, a goal was set to establish several small parking areas to serve our visitors rather than one large parking area or structure. This would be the first tourism small parking improvement projects, and would serve as a pilot project with opportunity for community feedback. Goal 7 -Protect and enhance destination appeal. The biggest complaint we receive from visitor's, event organizers, and even local citizens is the lack of planning on weekends with high tourist turnout. For example, we see an influx of visitors every Sunday in the summer for the Roslyn Farmer's Market from our 895 residents to a whopping 3,000+ visitors. Visitors are parking in our residential areas and walking to the events and downtown businesses causing a parking situation for residents and a safety concern for pedestrians.
