Hello,
I have lived in SLO on and off since 1973, including many years working and shopping in the downtown core. I applaud
many of the changes that have come to SLO.
HOWEVER, the parking rates will sink the downtown business traffic, and with it, our local sales tax revenues.
I have been shocked to find $4.00 per hour rates while having dinner downtown. To spend those rates to pop into a
boutique to do a little browsing is not possible.
I know there are several options before you, and the one I can best support is OPTION B. We have to get the rates to a
level that will encourage casual stopping and browsing or we will lose too much foot traffic. If the tradeoff is to eliminate
free Sunday parking and the free first hour, that is OK.
Please reconsider these rates!!
