Permit Parking in Jeopardy! |

11/12/04: Santa Monica's Permit Parking is in Jeopardy! City Council voted unanimously on 11/09/04 to begin the process to allow commercial businesses to park in preferrential parking zones.
Remember our 4 year struggle (to get permit parking): the the late night council meetings, the photos and letters - to prove our needs just so we could pay to park on our own street. Soon the council will give us what we had before ONLY NOW WE'LL BE PAYING FOR IT! Why bother protecting residents if council negates all of our hard work just to create another revenue stream for themselves?

Santa Monica prides itself on being "Sustainable". The Transportation section of the Sustainable City Plan states this goal: |
|
|
|
|
|
Facilitate a reduction in automobile dependency in favor of affordable alternative, sustainable modes of travel. |

Allowing businesses to use neighborhood streets for employee parking will certainly result in an INCREASE in automobile dependency - not a reduction. Clearly this is an ANTI-SUSTAINABLE move by City Council. |

Recent article about Kathryn Morea & parking 10/27/04 |

"What I like most about Kathryn Morea from a policy perspective is that
she has perhaps the most sophisticated take on parking I have heard from
not only any candidate running this year, but probably from anyone who
has ever been on the Council. (To summarize, she doesn't think we're ever
going to have enough parking if we give it away.) As these are the views of a candidate who got her start in public life
agitating for a preferential parking district, they indicate the ability to take
an issue deep, even an issue (parking!) that for most people around here
is fraught with emotion." --Frank Gruber, SurfSantaMonica.com |
