LJ Parking FYI

[FISHIONADO]

This meeting was just canceled because they didn't notify the public properly. I reviewed the plan, it didn't look like it included 2-hour parking limits at La Jolla Shores for the 1-year trial, yet. Dave

Does anyone have a contact email, or phone # to someone in charge for us to voice our concern about this? If we cannot be there in person, we can at least send our viewpoint... Esp if the meeting is held M-F during business hours...

Thanks for putting this info out there... We are so lucky to have La Jolla free in the midst of a big city.

Thanks Dave!!!

Is there anyone out there, who is savvy and can write an online petition with appropriate, diplomatic language?

http://www.petitionspot.com/

It will be easier for all of us to send our concerns.... Who knows if it will help, but it is better than doing nothing....

Do you want to see this poor grow old, and never get caught!!!!

Edit> I agree, I don't see how meters alleviate traffic, and congestion, we will just have to pay for spots now... BS!

I'm confused by all these web sites...

Is this what they're proposing?

The time limit would suck for us.

Dave, I looked at the plan and didn't see anything mentioned for La Jolla shores
either, but that I'm not sure that doesn't mean that it's not included.

I was planning to attend, but it would be nice to know that we can voice our opinions.
I'm not sure if this is a public opinion meeting or a "just sit there and listen to
what we have to say" type of meeting.

For those interested, here's a link to the La Jolla Community perspective on the
matter. http://www.lajollabythesea.com/docs/parking/

Politically, it will take some due diligence to find out who really stands to
win (politically). Conflict and special interest could invalidate this proposal.

We all know no matter what or how they charge for parking, it doesn't increase
the number of parking spaces or alleviate the parking problem. It's a farce.
This requires looking into existing law to see if there's an angle that can be
litigated, such as public access laws, misappropriation of tax dollars, etc.

If anyone hears any more info on this, I suggest posting it so that we can
voice our concerns. It appears that their next meeting is in November, but
that may have changed due to the cancellation of today's meeting.

That is not the community position, that is an org sponsored by local businesses. The community has been opposed overwhelmingly to parking limits and meters for years, we have pushed back every proposal the 10 years I have been following the issue. This is not an attempt to pull in parking revenue, this issue is driven by businesses in La Jolla that can't get enough customers because of no available parking. I recognize the dilemma for the businesses, there probably needs to be some compromise. I don't want to lose places like OEX, El Charro, Jeff's Burgers because they can't get enough customers. But don't mess with my kayak or surf session parking.

Dave, Thanks for your view (as a resident). Chris, unfortunately, I don't think a petition
is going to be enough to stop this. I think a a legal blockade is the only way.
Unfortunately, that takes a lot of time and effort, but definitely worth the fight.
