It has recently come to my attention that the city is reviewing the parking procedurs in the inner cities of Hillhurst and Sunnyside. From the mail i have read they are planning on installing parking meters in place of the residential parking pass system.
Now i really dont know what to say about this. its unbelievable. imagine if you had to pay for parking infront of your house? These communities are zoned as communities for a reason. how would you like it if people would park infront of your house daily just to walk to work? or walk down the street to go shopping.
there is already alot of traffic through these communites because of 10th st, 16th ave, 14th st and memorial. there is no need for anymore because people are parkign down here for work or shopping.
Im really suprised they would even suggest this. its being reviewed on the 17th, so i ask, even if you dont live near these communities, and it doesnt directly effect you to contact the alderman(below) with supportive emails of the families of these communities. just think about how much you would enjoy paying to park infront of your house, or having your grandparents over for dinner and them paying for parking.
its honestly just bullshit.
Thanks beyonders, i know you guys are good for this kinda shit, really appreciate it. i really dont wanna pay to visit my girlfriend.
