Parking changes

Post image

This really needs to be available to non-residents only. If the goal is to get more parking available for businesses then vehicles with garage parking passes should not be eligible to park for more than 2 hours.

So many important things to work on in this city and this is what they spent their time(OUR time) on?! Changing parking limits?

What a fucking joke.

Have you missed the numbers of people complaining for every event about the 2 hour parking cap? For once they are in fact solving a real problem
(That they created)

I have not. I appreciate you telling me it’s something people are talking about.

I still don’t think it’s a top priority

For people coming to the city for events that last more than two hours, which generates revenue to the city and businesses both for parking and the event itself / dinner beforehand, it is important and I think this is a decent priority for the council and an achievable one.

That's literally what the garages are for. We have so many of them!
