COMMUNITY INVITED TO SECOND
PAID PARKING DISCUSSION

Sarasota, FL: The City of Sarasota will continue its discussion about paid on-street parking with another meeting Mon., January 5, 2009 8:30am – 10am in Room 112 located in City Hall, 1565 First Street.

This is the second in a series of discussions, with this meeting focusing on three issues:

• Days and hours of parking meter operation
• Blending paid parking equipment in with the downtown streetscapes, including sidewalk cafes
• The aesthetics of paid parking equipment, such as colors and decorative details

The discussion will be facilitated by Parking Manager Susan Dodd.

The initial meeting of the discussion group, held December 10, 2008, was well attended and provided an orientation on paid parking and the purpose of the discussion meetings.
The discussion groups will meet monthly for the next year to talk about moving toward paid on-street parking in downtown Sarasota.
