A. The traffic engineer is hereby authorized to establish the location of metered parking spaces upon any street or portion of any street where it is determined, upon the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation, that the installation of parking meters shall be necessary to aid in the regulation, control, or inspection of the parking of vehicles. The parking of vehicles in such metered parking spaces shall be controlled and regulated by parking meters, installed and maintained by the International Bridges Director, and located upon the curb immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces. The International Bridges Director shall designate the maximum parking time for each parking meter, basing this designation on the investigation above set forth.
B. The traffic engineer is hereby authorized to designate any portion or section of any drive, roadway or area within any public ground or lands owned or controlled by the city, as a public parking area within which parking shall be controlled by parking meters, whenever the International Bridges Director shall find and determine that the use of public property or any public building, structure or activity situated thereon or adjacent thereto will be benefited by the control of such parking, or access to such ground, buildings or activity will be made more readily available to a larger number of citizens or congested traffic and parking conditions will be thereby eliminated. In the areas so designated, the International Bridges Director shall designate the maximum parking time for each parking meter, basing his designation on the fact finding above set forth. Prior to making changes or designation the International Bridges Director will meet with representatives of the El Paso Downtown Management District in order to be able to fairly consider any impacts to affected downtown businesses and patrons.
