Jefferson City Council to review downtown parking

Friday, October 14, 2011

The Jefferson City Council will hear a proposal Monday for an official downtown resident parking program, and there may be some discussion on whether to immediately begin charging a fee.

The proposed program, which has gone through two committees with several changes, would allow residents of downtown apartments to park in any metered spot without payment. But the question of whether to charge a monthly fee now or later has been debated throughout the past month.

Why not get rid of the meters and let everyone park for free? If you want more people to live and/or shop downtown, you need to quit harrassign them and let them park for free. Why restrict people from parking there and say you want more people to go downtown? City Hall has forked tongue or two faces.
