Subject: parking garage
Dear Rachel Cohen,
I just read the Tribune article regarding a new parking garage
on Palm/Nipomo streets. Yes, definitely more parking is
needed. HOWEVER, please make sure that whoever designs
this parking garage is NOT the same group that designed the
one on 919 Palm adjacent to the Library. That garage is
dysfunctional. The spaces are too small, the lanes are too
narrow, and the two-way (same lanes going up as coming down)
lanes are ridiculous. Even with a mid-sized car, going up or
coming down, one cannot make a corner turn if one meets
another vehicle at the same point. One of the vehicles literally
1
has to back up to the let the other vehicle pass. We don't have
a large car so I can't imagine how SUVs or trucks deal with the
situation. Also, we parked in there one busy evening and there
were no spaces available on any level. When we left, we asked
the attendant why there wasn't a "No Vacancy" sign out
front. They told us that they were not allowed to put one up! I
don't know if she was misinformed or misunderstood the ruling.
So, in the meantime, cars were driving around aimlessly
believing that there were spaces available. We will not park
there again.
Thank you for your time and I hope this was helpful,
Carol Lorenzini
