The City of Hood River is going to be studying parking over the course of the upcoming summer season.  City Manager Steve Wheeler says they also have done a small off-peak parking study that the results of which will be available soon.  City Councilor Kate McBride says the last time the City did a parking study about a decade ago, it indicated eventually something would have to be done to provide more parking, and that point may be arriving.  The potential for more residential uses downtown is becoming a factor, with McBride noting several entities want to put apartments in the upper floors of downtown buildings, but cannot because they are unable to provide parking.
