Meter cost increase

[Townsend]

I don't mind the rate increase but don't extend it until 8.

Want to raise more money from parking? Charge a 30% tax on all surface lot revenues within the IDL.

That is an excellent suggestion.

was figuring the math and the new meters should easily pay for themselves at the current rate in under six months (and that is really stretching it out).  There is no reason to increase time or cost, other then to increase parking turnover.  I think it would be better to increase the cost in area's close to businesses that have a quick customer turnover, which would discourage all day parkers from parking there.  Beyond that, I don't see any reason why they should be raised, or if they do, not beyond maybe $.75 an hour. 

I do like the 30% tax on surface lot revenues.

Well have to hire another meter maid.
There may be one available...

Wish they'd hurry up and start enforcing parking laws on evenings, specifically concert nights.

There are several places on Cheyenne where you can find cars blocking 3/4 of the sidewalk. Glad American Parking (or whoever owns that lot) is collecting money for a parking spot that's mostly on the sidewalk.

Cars parked in striped no-parking zones, partially blocking driveways, are everywhere. Property owners on Cheyenne north of the tracks are charging people to park partially on the street blocking the sidewalk, which doesn't really seem fully legal.

I think people are getting wise to the fact that unless you park on Denver in front of the BOK Center, you can basically do whatever you want parking wise on event nights.
