To the mayor and council members,
I am writing to you in support of the proposed rate increases as necessary to
ensure timely construction of the Arts District parking structure. This garage is essential to the ability of SLO REP and the
SLO Museum of Art to expand
their offerings, as well as increasing access to the SLO Children's Museum.
I support this increase with a caveat, though. As someone who has commuted to work in SLO from both North and
South Counties for nearly twenty years, I would ask that any plan for parking rate increase would factor in
complimentary or heavily discounted parking for all downtown employees. While the parking rate may incentivize local
folks taking public transit, walking, or cycling to downtown more often, it will also penalize those who, due to the high
cost of living in SLO and working hours that extend beyond the current public transit hours, must commute by car to
work in SLO. I would also love to see more investment in public transit options for our commuters.
Thank you for your consideration,
Tasia Trevino-Hill
