I totally understand the need to generate revenue. And it seems reasonable to tack it on to the parking rates - after all -
the retailers aren’t going to be screaming in your ears about yet another fee or increase!
I have to tell you - I rarely shop or visit downtown SLO anymore. I am 63 years old and have been a Los Osos resident
since 1982. We used to always enjoy the Farmer’s Market, shopping of an afternoon in town, ice cream on Higuera
Street. Take visitors through town to enjoy the shops and restaurants.s. We hardly do so anymore and raising the
parking rates will probably make this even less so.
I can get what I need from Amazon…. I will patronize restaurants with free parking available to me.
I do wonder, however, if making access to our local government officials and offices such a hardship for ALL people is fair
or could possibly be challenged in court? It’s getting so that only the people who can afford to and who are physically fit
enough to manage the hike can visit County offices in person.
