Re: City Council Mee?ng on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 Agenda Item 4.a.
Dear City Council,
My name is Tiana and I am sharing my support, in line with Downtown SLO’s Board of Directors, for Op?on B of the
Parking Rate Study recommenda?ons presented by Dixon Unlimited.
I recently moved back to the area a?er living in a large city and was appalled. Never in all my travels to ci?es large and
small have I encountered such astronomical street parking rates. I have ac?vely avoided going downtown for any reason
because of this. Instead, I visit businesses that have a parking lot or are located outside of the paid parking area.
I hope you see that these rates are affec?ng downtown businesses and the local residents--people who are already
struggling with unreasonable infla?on of their most basic needs: grocery prices and unaffordable housing. These rates
will only encourage people to avoid downtown altogether.
Sincerely,
Tiana-Lei Flora
