New Parking Meters

[tufsu1]

How about we just ask the much busier and much more dense Riverside how they get by with only St. Vincents parking garage and no meters.   I can guess the answer , easily.

sorry but Riverside is not more dense than downtown when it comes to office workers...the primary employment concentration is at St. Vincents...and they use the garages.

just look at all the parking that Baptist uses on the southbank...blocks of surface parking lots plus a few garages.

^There are several cities that have free time limited parking and it works out just well.  My advice for Jax would be to ask a place like Greenville, SC how they carry it out successfully.

with enforcement that includes ticketing (i.e., revenue)

Yes.  This is how you would fund parking enforcement and ensure turnover without parking meters.

Double the fees to $1 per hour.  Build a streetcar line from Football Stadium to connect with Skyway Express at the Omni.  We'll slowly begin using public transport.
