Agenda Item 4.a.
Dear City Council,
My name is Mary MacKenzie, and I am sharing my support, in line with Downtown SLO’s Board of Directors, for Option B
of the Parking Rate Study recommendations presented by Dixon Unlimited. This option offers the most affordable
parking rates downtown, addressing the primary concern expressed by respondents in the Parking Rate Study.
I live in Atascadero and used to love driving to SLO for movies, shopping and dining. I used to have a volunteer
job in San Luis Obispo that I loved but gave it up because it was costing me too much. The cost of parking is
ridiculous, so my husband and I very seldom go to San Luis Obispo anymore. We have friends in Los Osos, and
she and I have been wanting to get together for lunch. She told me this week that she will not go to San Luis
Obispo because the cost of parking is too high, so we had to schedule our lunch in another city. Furthermore,
I am in support of this position but would like to see free parking all day Sundays. We're much more inclined
right now to go to Paso Robles.
Sincerely,
XXX XXXXX
Bob Kelly/Mary MacKenzie
