Hi SLO council members,
I live in Pismo Beach and frequent downtown SLO for its lovely restaurants, shopping, music at the mission, the farmers
market, concerts at the Fremont…. You get the idea. I go to downtown SLO for the fun, relaxing vibe.
Lately there have been many restaurant closures. Big Sky was a favorite for breakfast. Cochinela was my favorite
Mexican food in the area. So many closures! It’s worrisome. I want a downtown to go to, but with the high cost of
parking I’m afraid more restaurants will close and because of that fewer visitors will go downtown. It seems like a death
spiral.
PLEASE reconsider your parking fees! Parking should not be expensive or you won’t draw the business. If you don’t draw
the business, the businesses can’t survive.
Thank you for all you do to keep SLO the relaxing, fun place that so many visitors enjoy. Thank you for your
considera?on.
