Didn't mean to imply that I'm against the meters generally! Just feel that the rollout could have been coordinated/organized better. I think it's pretty common for residents in other cities like Chicago to have permits on metered streets, no? Realistically, how is a two-hour parking limit compatible with the fact that many people there are residents with only off-street parking?

New paid parking meters are up in Ohio City near Dave's. People are already complaining about it. I honestly get it, though; was there seriously no coordination with local businesses/residents to ensure that employees and residents could get permits or something?

People are willing to walk relatively far when they park in the garages at Crocker Park...

Oh no, I'm bummed to hear that they suck! What's the scoop?

Super exciting project! Frustrated but unsurprised to hear the pushback from people about parking. From the Scene article -- I was surprised to hear this from the owner of Heart of Gold:

One highlight: "You are deliberately TORTURING Cleveland West Side residents"

Working to eliminate silence and shame around a medical procedure that literally saves lives is NOT equivalent to flippantly celebrating it.

I'm also watching the Landmarks meeting; there was some minor drama involving the Brew Works' "ask for forgiveness, not for permission" approach to putting the original awning up in the first place. 😂 (With the caveat that some lenience was provided by the Commission due to the pandemic in 2020.) Is this approach typical? Wouldn't they be fined for this?
