Dear Council,
I'm a tourist. I love visiting San Luis Obispo because of its wonderful small town feel. It's a wonderful
place to park, walk and Shop & Eat.
BUT the short parking time limit and the Expense of the parking make that harder, and mean that we
usually have to leave before we'd like to. And of course that means that we are leaving before we've
spent all the money we would have in your sweet town!
I'm sure you are aware that retail is suffering thanks to Amazon. And others, but mostly Amazon. Why
leave the house, right? Just buy that Mother's Day gift and get the prime shipping! The hat! The art!
The ....
This is making it harder and harder for the wonderful small businesses like the ones on SLO to
survive. We need to help them in any way possible, because they truly are the heart of the
community, and of its economy.
I hope to help keep one of my favorite places to visit alive and thriving well into the future.
Please choose Option B for parking in your fine little city.
Thank you,
Patrice Curedale
