POINT OF VIEW from Page 6
all charge for parking.Why are they successful? Because people want to go there. Why do downtowns fail? Because
people don’t want to go there. If you want tomake your downtown successful, make it so peoplewant to go there. Santa Monica, Old Pasadena, CA, the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Atlanta Station, South Beach in Miami, Michigan Avenue inChicago, Pike PlaceMarket in Seattle – they all charge dearly for park- ing and are extremely successful. I love it. The columnist complains
about predatory parking enforcement. I certainly agree. Set the rules so they fit the situation, then enforce the rules. If you don’t like them,
fine.Call ameeting, get some facts and input, and then change them. But to stop enforcement of the rules
“just cuz” is ridiculous. It’s not too ear-
ly to wish you all the merriest of Christmases and a most happy holiday
season.All the best.
