"Dear City Council,
I wish to express my deep concern about the high cost of parking in our downtown area. The current pricing is making it
challenging for residents and visitors to enjoy the amenities, shop, and dine in this vibrant part of our city. It has become
very difficult for the shop and restaurant owners to pay their employees and continue to keep their doors open for
business. The parking fees do not encourage new businesses to the downtown as seen by the current vacancies. It is
much easier to go to shopping areas outside of the downtown area and/or order online.
In my opinion it is better to lower the hourly rate than to give an hour free.
I kindly request that you consider more affordable parking options to support our local businesses and ensure
accessibility for all.
Sincerely,
Abbie Woodward
