Description

Non-permit cars parking on Bishop Street in the evenings for restaurants and bars on State street.

I've seen parking authority once during the day, but the problem is in the evening.

Yes it seems as if the parking issue needs to be adjusted. it would be great to allow people to park in the day for 2 hours to encourage day businesses to exist, Currently the people who give out tickets work until 4:30 pm (which everyone knows) . Otherwise, small business customers get tickets all the time on Thursday and Friday afternoons. It seems unfair the restaurants get free parking while smalled business is shunned away by giving tickets and they struggle to survive. the Upper State street Association did a parking study and provided the study to Doug at the parking authority proving there was a shortage of approximately 250 parking spaces. there has been NOTHING done about it and I would be pleased to work with the neighborhood to help solve the problem. It's very difficult to survive without ANY cooperation from the City

Is this for the same restaurant that takes up the whole sidewalk with tables and fence so nobody can walk by either?

I don't think it's any specific bar, shop or restaurant, but I can assume which one you're speaking of.

Unless you have a permit or visitor permit, you shouldn't be parking on Bishop street. It's for residents, and spots are being taken up by non-permit cars in the evenings.

Day time/business hours is not a problem.

Yes I agree day time business parking is not a problem. However people are ticketed and the day time village atmosphere is squelched by the parking tickets they receive .so if you go to get a haircut you get a ticket. That's how it is set up. Now by the postings. The solution would be to create the daytime village by having 2 hou parking during the day

You need off-street parking, that's the solution. And that restaurant needs to find another location to spread out on
