________________________________
As a property owner and longtime resident of SLO I am astonished at the lack of understanding that exists in city
government on this topic. The existing parking rates and cumbersome techniques needed to pay for street parking turn
off tourists & residents from coming downtown. These plans will further undermine the number of patrons who want to
eat, drink & shop downtown! Sure, another structure will be an asset BUT the rate increases proposed will insure a
reduction of visitors. This outcome will be proven by empty parking spaces on the streets and the structures.
Along with even higher vacancy rates for downtown! Review the plan for the new parking structure & reduce the scale
by eliminating the Arts building relocation along with a smaller garage.
