Dear City Council Members,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding the current state of downtown
San Luis Obispo’s retail environment and parking rates.
As a member of the community, I believe that lowering parking rates and investing in the revitalization of the
retail environment are crucial steps towards fostering a vibrant and thriving downtown area. Lower parking
rates would not only make it more affordable for residents and visitors to access downtown businesses but
also encourage increased foot traffic, benefiting local merchants.
Furthermore, investing in initiatives to repair and enhance the retail environment would create a more attractive
and welcoming downtown area, attracting both residents and tourists alike. This would not only support
existing businesses but also stimulate economic growth and development in our community.
I urge the City Council to consider Option B from the parking survey. It is imperative that you take action to
lower parking rates and prioritize the repair and revitalization of the downtown retail environment via a PR
campaign. Together, we can work towards creating a downtown area that thrives and continues to be the heart
of our community.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Steven Wick & Katy Hemler
