Dear Members of the San Luis Obispo City Council,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the cost
of parking in downtown San Luis Obispo. As a resident and frequent visitor to our beautiful city, I have noticed
a significant increase in parking fees over the past few years, which has become a burden on both residents
and tourists.
While I understand that maintaining and improving the downtown area is essential for the community's growth
and prosperity, I believe that the current parking costs are disproportionately high. This issue not only affects
residents like me who rely on downtown parking for daily activities but also discourages visitors from enjoying
our local businesses and attractions. The high parking fees are deterring people from supporting our downtown
businesses, which is detrimental to the local economy.
I urge the City Council to reconsider the current pricing structure and explore more reasonable alternatives that
can strike a balance between generating revenue and supporting the vibrancy of our downtown. It is essential
that we find a solution that ensures accessibility and affordability for everyone.
I kindly request that the City Council conducts a thorough review of the current parking fees and their impact
on the community. Engaging with the public and local businesses in this matter could provide valuable insights
to help find a fair and sustainable solution.
I appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to making San Luis Obispo a wonderful place to
live and visit. I hope that together, we can find a resolution that benefits our entire community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
I Buthelezi
