________________________________
I sent my last email too soon- without completing my letter. I would like to add that this increase will dramatically effect
all the people who work downtown. The city council is clearly out of touch with the many who work and can’t afford to
live here. They can’t just bike to work. And the many surrounding downtown streets have either permit parking or more
meters.
How does the city council supposedly support creating a livable wage and affordable housing when parking itself is
untenable.

Because each new parking requires starting over - rather than using the left over amounts left by previous parkers like
we used to- I’m curious about how much money has been accrued . . That’s already been a frustrating aspect of coming
downtown.
> Such a massive increase in parking prices will undoubtedly hurt everyone who parks downtown and create more
dislike of our once friendly and welcoming small city. Also how much money was spent on unnecessary new bike lanes
and weird parking spaces on upper marsh that really only now confuse people? There has to be another way. We were
biking downtown just fine before.
