Parking meters downtown should be disabled to encourage social distancing.
The city should encourage personal vehicle use and discourage the use of buses and carpooling during our present situation.
27% of WA state resident don’t have a driver’s license. Many can’t afford a car and some with drivers licenses aren’t able to drive safely, even if they do have a car. Public transportation may be the only way people can work and access food. The city should do no such thing.
Keeping the parking fees in place will discourage unnecessary trips downtown. That helps with social distancing. No reason to encourage more driving. Also, I’ve heard the buses aren’t crowded, so that helps too.
