RE: Meter Regulation
A problem has come to my attention. The parking meters on
Douglas between Fifth and Sixth Streets have a one hour limit.
Citizens who remain in those metered spots for more than one
hour, even if they have paid for the time, are ticketed. I
assume this regulation was originally adopted to turn over the
traffic.
In the past several months a number of residents have
complained to me and other library staff regarding this parking
limitation. Their objection, one that seems reasonable to me, is
that their business in the library often extends beyond an hour.
The only notice of the hour limit is in small print on the face
of the meter. Also, this is the only block in the downtown area
with that type of limit so it is an unexpected regulation.
The Library would have no objection to the removal of this
one hour limit and,, in fact, endorsessuch a change. Thanks for
your attention to this issue.
