We sit and watch everyday the parking. Most of the parking on the west side of the street is occopied the entire day by employees of several of the businesses. Also, the handicapped spots are occupied almost every day by people who are not handicapped or have cars with placard or plates for handicapped. I don't see that changing. Will there be monitoring and enforcement of the meters that people are actually feeding them? I think it is a great addition to the parking situations for the businesses. We love University Place so very much. A great place to live. Thank you for keeping it beautiful and safe for everyone.

I rarely shopped at Town Center....now I will definately stay away.

I think free time-constrained parking enforcement would be a more equitable solution. Locking priveledged parking spots behind a toll favors the wealthy, and you are still going to need to hire parking enforcement regardless to ensure compliance. I never stay there long anyways, I don't want to eat my ice cream in the dusty gravel downwind of the gas fire pit. 😶‍🌫️

New revenue stream through parking tickets. Maybe a new FTE for “parking enforcement” to generate that income. Let’s call it what it is. $$$ to the city budget. PR Spin is PR Spin. That youtube production value was pretty good too. Good job.
