The study carried out by the town hall services shows 600 to 700 parking spaces available every day on average in Quimper, “or around 10% of the overall park in the center of Quimper enlarged”, estimates David Lesvenan, roads assistant. . Obviously, this figure only counts and therefore only designates “what is very precisely measurable”, that is to say paid places.
3,125 free places in the expanded center and 3,375 paid places
Note that the municipal study counts 3,375 paid places in a geographical area going from Locmaria to the station and from the Croix des Gardiens to the Place de la Résistance. In this same expanded city center, the number of regulatory free spaces on public roads is estimated at 3,125.
Fourteen additional panels
To enable motorists to find these parking options more quickly and as close as possible, the City will broadcast information on their location (identification of parking lots) in real time via 28 panels placed at city entrances and strategic sites. “We are also looking at how to share this information on the Quimper + application, but also with other major platforms,” indicates the elected official.
The fourteen existing panels will be updated. Fourteen others will be installed before the summer, “sometimes very upstream or at the exit of the ring roads”, specifies David Lesvenan.
Tool contributing to unclogging the center
In addition to improving the reception of daily users or occasional visitors to Quimper, the new information system indirectly aims to streamline traffic, by reducing this “over-circulation” generated by the search for parking.
To make the information reliable in real time, cameras are equipping or will be equipping the car parks of La Résistance, La Tourbie, Allées de Locmaria, La Providence, la Croix des Gardiens, Michel-Gloaguen and very soon de l’Eau- White.
Some of these signs will also be able to broadcast information on traffic conditions in real time.
“Some of these panels will also be able to broadcast information on traffic conditions in real time,” adds Anne-Claire Guillou, new director of the mobility and public spaces department. This investment in “dynamic staking” weighs €800,000 excluding tax.
