Dear Parking Division / City Clerk,

Pursuant to the Kansas Open Records Act (K.S.A. 45-215 et seq.), I am requesting the following public records related to downtown Topeka parking (Central Business District / study area bounded roughly by SW 2nd St., Tyler St., SW 12th St., and Adams St.):

  1. Current (2026) detailed schedule of all on-street parking meter rates, time limits, payment methods, number of active meters, and any recent changes to policies or zones.
  2. Complete inventory of all city-operated parking garages and surface lots, including: exact stall counts per facility, current hourly and monthly rates, operating hours, and number of spaces designated for hourly vs. monthly use.
  3. Any and all occupancy, utilization, or parking demand data/reports for downtown public parking facilities (garages, lots, and on-street) from the past 24 months, including peak-period counts, average daily/weekly occupancy rates, or any dashboard/summary reports.
  4. Any parking studies, assessments, or executive summaries completed since 2017 (including any updates to the 2017 DESMAN Comprehensive Parking Plan or the Walter P. Moore garage structural review), along with any recommendations implemented or pending.
  5. Any internal analyses or data on parking supply vs. demand, revenue trends, or enforcement statistics for downtown parking.

If any responsive records are already publicly available online, please provide the direct links. I prefer electronic copies (PDF or spreadsheet format). I agree to pay reasonable copying fees up to $25 without further notice; please contact me if costs will exceed that.

Thank you for your assistance. Please provide the records or an estimated timeline within the statutory period.
