This message is to all those who've instituted and overseen the disaster y'all call the new parking system.
I'm sure you've heard from plenty of business owners and community members regarding your absolutely atrocious
parking rates and ridiculously complicated new system, but I have another complaint about the whole thing.
Every day I use the app to (over) pay for my parking, and every day it takes me upwards of a minute to actually have my
payment process due to an error message that says "parking time is too far in the future". EVERY. DAMN. TIME. And
today, after attempting multiple times I got a call, walked into my restaurant and by the time I was off the call I'd
received a ticket. I am absolutely sick of this crap.
I'm not scheduling "future" parking. I'm utilizing the technology that you people forced on us. I have to sit there and try
to pay over and over again until finally it accepts the payment and starts my meter...oh, and by the time it's actually
accepted and the clock starts ticking, it's always LESS time than I'm paying for! Not by a ton, but if I'm paying $4 damn
dollars an hour, and better get exactly that much time on my meter!
This wasn't happening when you first switched over to this system, so I can only assume y'all switched some kind of
setting.
Fix it.
I do not apologize for the terse nature of this communication. I, and SO MANY others, are fed up with this situation and
this leadership's attempts to jam some utopian pipedream of "progress" down our throats. You're doing immense harm
to those who live and work here, all for some hypothetical future wherein our once unique and beautiful town will turn
into just another garbage city (more so than it's already becoming). And you're implementing tools that don't even work
as they should.
It is a damn shame.
In great frustration,
