Dear City Council of San Luis Obispo:
I am writing with strong support of Section G-3: Parking Fund of the 2021-23 Financial Plan presented to you by the City
of San Luis Obispo’s staff. As a resident of the north coast, I spend a lot of time in downtown San Luis Obispo. I
commend city leadership for seeing our community through the pandemic and I very much look forward to better days
when we can frequently shop, dine, visit cultural institutions, and be entertained again in San Luis Obispo. I am
particularly supportive of the Palm/Nipomo Parking Structure and urge you to expedite those plans. Downtown simply
needs more parking and that is a perfect location. One of my concerns when thinking of going downtown is always
about parking.
The proposed changes provide a clearly articulated path to make those activities easier for everyone and will help
businesses thrive. I understand there are always objections when prices are raised but the proposed changes simply
make sense. I don’t expect to go out of town and visit other communities and have free parking and I think it is
reasonable to pay a fair and affordable amount to park in downtown San Luis Obispo.
Respectfully submitted,
Pamela Nichter, Harmony CA
