If there ever was a time to do nothing ...
A story in tonight's paper talks about how a two-story parking garage might be good for the west side of Monroe St. Proponents of this plan better watch what they wish for. Given the city's much ballyhooed financial crisis, chances are some merchants might end up paying for a good chunk of this, directly or indirectly. Hopefully, some saner heads might prevail. What's funny about this is both Beneteau and Compora, who don't always see eye to eye, seem to be on the same side of this issue. They think more signs pointing to existing lots might be the answer, especially because the county and city are considering a big structure near the government buildings. In this case, delay might be the right move.

I think signage is important also, but I don't see that large structure being built anyime soon, unless the county is putting up the majority of the money! The county needs the parking, not the city. They already have city employee parking. The proposed city portion of the parking deck could benefit downtown businesses, and just let the city employees stay where they park now.
Good point about Beneteau and Compora agreeing. Doesn't happen often. I figure that he had some legitimate concerns over the downtown parking situation which actually made sense, and she just jumped on his bandwagon because she didn't have a clue herself.
