Re: City Council Meeting on Tuesday, May 14, 2024
Agenda Item 4.a.
Dear City Council,
My name is L Jane Swanson, and I'm a resident of San Luis Obispo. I support Option B of the Parking Rate Study
recommendations presented by Dixon Unlimited.
With more reasonable parking rates, I will no longer be hesitant to suggest friends meet me downtown for lunches and
dinners. I have not done so for months, as I didn’t want either them or me to have to spend $8.00 on parking in order to
enjoy a leisurely meal that would cost around $25. If you add a 20% tip plus $8 to park, that makes brings the price up
to $38. That does not make downtown dining inviting, and I worry about the many excellent restaurants and other
businesses that must be experiencing loss of business. Too many have already closed.
Thank you for the City effort to find a solution to this problem.
Sincerely,
Jane Swanson
