Redondo parking petition...?

[GTboosted]

Is there a simple way to add that some of us launch before the lot attendant gets there? Current policy states that without a ticket, we must get charged maximum value of $30. Happened to us...

Sounds good, thanks Jim.


Mayor Brand was a big endorser of Measure C. One of it's key initiatives was to preserve recreational parking.

Oh jeez, really?

Yeah, that should be captured somewhere if thats the case.....

Definitely should bring up at the meeting not necessarily write in the petition that during the winter time the normally mostly empty parking lot will be completely empty if they start charging everyone full tilt! And it will force, like you said everyone to park and clog up the surrounding city streets. If nobody park's in the parking lot because of the high cost...whats the purpose of having a parking lot?

Yup. 30 freaking dollars lol

Luckily we managed to convince them to lower it but I doubt they can do that for us on the regular.

I like it Jim. Let's hope it gets recognized and the parking issue addressed. It seems like the whole harbor area is becoming gentrified making it impossible to have a nice day by the coast if you aren't loaded.

Beto...in all the years that i've been going to the Redondo hand launch I've found that if you drive through the parking lot entrance before 7am the gate is open and you can not get a parking ticket from the machine. As far as I know, the parking lot attendant does not go on duty until 7am and the hourly rates do not start until 7am.
With that in mind...your parking rate starts at 7am and is $2 hourly until you leave. So... if you get there at 5am and stay until 10:59am you should pay $8...or $2 an hour for 4 hours ( from 7am till 10:59am)
The $30 fee seems a little exorbitant...!
With all respect...I don't think this needs to be added to the petition...
I'm hoping to keep it simple and get the flat rate reinstated...

That's we were thinking also. Maybe the attendant was thinking that we were there from the previous day? But she said that was the policy to charge without a ticket? Whether it's true or not I don't know since we would always get it validated prior to that.

If it is true policy then it should help with the petition. If not then I guess we got the lady on a bad day.
