Dear City of SLO Leaders,
Thank you for listening to opinions on the economic health of downtown SLO due to displeasure with
the parking regulations, homeless issues and construction impact.
It is my feeling that our independent merchants are struggling to make ends meet. Downtown
shoppers are scarce. Merchants are telling me that customers are continually complaining about the
parking situation. Would it be possible to offer some free downtown parking for the holidays as a way
to help bolster business for them?
The homeless situation downtown is also another frustrating and sad situation for all of us. I know
that you are all working hard to come up with a solution for this. It’s a big social problem in many
communities. I often do not feel safe walking downtown.
What can our community do to make the situation better? We all want what is best for our beautiful
city. Let’s all work together on a solution.
Best regards,
Vicki
