Hello,
I saw a flier and wanted to share my opinion. I live in SLO and frequent downtown. I think SLO downtown is amazing and
I want to frequent the businesses.
The parking cost is insane. I travel to SF and Oakland often and am amazed that they have cheaper parking. $4 an hour is
beyond infuriating. I spend so much on parking per month that I’m rethinking how often I go which will impact
businesses. We have signed up for the free hour but it’s at Palm which make quick trips downtown pointless if you have
to walk.
I’m aware that what we pay for parking it to fun the new structure. It’s just beyond frustrating that the locals have to
bear the brunt of it. I’m trying to be respectful in this email but know I’m not happy with the decision and hope thay 10
years from now our downtown looks like Huntington Beach where only large corp businesses survive.
Please make a change.
Grant
