The city is not trying to make money. The city only cracks down because local merchants complain that parking space hogs are discouraging new customers from coming downtown.

The resident above states "The city is not trying to make money." Are you sure of that? If that was so, why doesn't the city place a "warning" sign on your windshield (at least one time) or try to reduce the number of overtime parking tickets by posting more signs in the very lengthy parking plazas?

At the moment, some shoppers do not see the signs at the driveway entrances. One suggestion may be if additional two hour parking limit signs(such as in the center of the parking lots) were posted in the parking lots, as a reminder, it may help to reduce the number of people ticketed.

The city has also put "two sided" signs on Santa Cruz Avenue for one hour parking, why not make the large wooden signs located at the parking plaza entrances two sided as well, so that when you get out of your car and walk toward the sidewalk, you are reminded that the lot is limited to a period of only two hours. This only seems courteous.
