A meeting will be held at OCC Brewing on Wednesday, February 23rd at 4pm with John Crawford, Parking Manager for the City of Colorado Springs.
This is your chance to ask questions, offer reasonable solutions, and make your voice be heard. I would ask that everyone please refrain from emotional outbursts. We want to present our community in a professional manner and what has mom always said “you get further with honey than vinegar.” It’s true. So, I know we are all upset about the situation, and I have met with John personally to discuss this and topics we have covered:
1. Liability and safety issues with street parking
2. Financial hardships of OCC vs. Downtown business owners
3. Consideration of customers parking / shopping for longer than 3 hours
4. Lack of adequate parking for business owners and/or employees
5. Lack of communication and solutions presented by city
If you have solutions or ideas, please bring them.
Also, PLEASE forward to owners that you think might be affected, I do not have everyone’s email! Thank you!
