Subject:Fwd: Parking fiasco: we don't go to downtown SLO anymore

Hello councilmembers:
I want to include my voice among those locals thoroughly disgusted with the new parking measures implemented in
July. They're confusing, cumbersome and anti-business for those of us who used to spend our entertainment dollars
downtown.
You've heard lots of the complaints - fees too high, 1 hour grace period too short, processes too confusing -- so I won't
elaborate. Just know that my friends and I used to go to Thursday night Farmer's Market, The Palm Theater and the SLO
Little Theater, as well as restaurants downtown. Since the new parking went into effect in the summer, we
avoid downtown like the plague. Too many other options in the county that are less painful and more consumer-
friendly. This is a shame - downtown SLO used to be a fun place to hang out.
Please take a more long-term approach and fix the problem. Thank you.
Kind regards,
Therese Solimeno
