Dear SLO Council
My name is Lucinda Lai and my husband and I live in Arroyo Grande. We love visiting San Luis Obispo
downtown and shopping. There are so many nice places to purchase gifts, clothes, books, etc. plus the many
restaurants that are offered here. Oh, let me not forget SLO is a beautiful place to visit.
But now since the parking rates are high, we don't visit hardly at all. Last time we parked in the Parking
Structure on Palm Ave.We decided to have lunch there. So now we either find free parking or go to Pismo
Beach or back to AG to eat. If you keep the current rates and eliminate FREE Sundays. We'll find elsewhere
to go and skip visiting downtown SLO.
So it's preferred to Option B: Lower parking rates significantly across the board. We visited an acupuncturist on
Palm Ave. Those meters DO NOT ACCEPT credit cards. They need to be replaced. Who carries that many
quarters with you?
So even if Option B is implemented, we will still watch our time carefully.
Thank you,
Lucinda & Edmund Lai
Arroyo Grande
