When the parking is free all day, it gets filled up by workers (both retail and office workers) by 9am and shoppers can never find a place to park. The meter rates encourage turnove so that shoppers and diners have a hope of finding a place to park. The meter rates should be adjusted to achieve 85% occupancy: studies have shown this is the sweet spot for earning meter revenuevwhile still having some open spaces so that drivers can find a space.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745625607350497891.post-5942201904204493532011-01-07T22:33:04.955-05:002011-01-07T22:33:04.955-05:00So does Ms. Kravchuk think it is ok to bar access ...So does Ms. Kravchuk think it is ok to bar access to public space on her street or her neighborhood while the rest of us are forced to walk, or wheelchair on the grass and mud, or worse, in the street?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745625607350497891.post-91689078992039814752011-01-07T17:37:48.566-05:002011-01-07T17:37:48.566-05:00DC Board of Elections and Ethics has been mismanag...DC Board of Elections and Ethics has been mismanaged for years. The recent purge list published many individuals who registered in 2000 and before but never voted, let alone people who moved out of the area, wait it gets better concerning the deceased who probably voted six feet under! <br /><br />A friend moved to another state, first thing she did was get a new drivers license when time came to submit the final "DC Tax Return" which showed the current out of state address, the refund was sent to her last DC address. Luckily she filed a "Change of Address" with the Post Office before moving - the check was forwarded with two days before the request expired! Voting flyers from candidates running for office in the DISTRICT, contained her new out of state address (not forwarded) what a waste of campaign funds.<br /><br />Statehood chances are laughable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745625607350497891.post-86908258538660447032011-01-07T14:05:59.110-05:002011-01-07T14:05:59.110-05:00Deb-

There are far better ways to spend these diminished funds. The GOAL IS TO HAVE THE MANDATORY SIDEWALK INSTALLATION BILL REPEALED. These are places where the rare pedestrian walk would factor out to thousands of dollars a stroll. Deborah KavruckDeborah Kavrucknoreply@blogger.com
