If one or two on-street parking spaces on each block were reserved for guests from 8 AM-11 PM, do you think this would make it less likely for visitors to be towed?
Not Sure
If you answered “No” to the previous question about guest parking and towing, please explain your answer so that the City may better understand your concerns.
I have no idea what the demand is for visitors. I'm not sure that two spaces would be enough during the day time. I also don't know what the main cause of visitors being towed is. What happens to the spot outside of the 8am-11pm hours? If I want to have guests later than that, would they be able to still park there? What happens if a resident parks in the guest parking because all the resident parking is full due to the accomodations made for guests? Would guest parking include student parking? Would BYU students take over guest parking spots? How would the city ensure that it's only guests of the people who live there instead of BYU students? This is pretty vague and needs some more details/research into the implications of this idea and how it will be enforced. I don't know enough to form an opinion yet.
Do you have any other suggestions about how to improve on-street parking in the Joaquin Neighborhood?
I'm about to move into a basement apartment south of 500 N in June, and the only available parking for both myself and any guests I may have is street parking. As a BYU student, I simply don't have a lot of spare money to pay! I really don't want to have to pay just to have a car where I live. If there could be some sort of registration or something without a fee that just requires proof of address to obtain a permit, then that would be fine. I could understand a small fee, somewhere along the lines of $15 a year (my mom's neighborhood had a problem with street parking, and they implemented a parking permit program for that amount the proved extremely effective. However, their problem was with the local high school students parking in the neighborhood to avoid paying for a parking pass, not necessarily parking saturation and traffic). I think it would be helpful if more details of the permit plan were presented so that it would be easier to make an informed decision.
