"Free" Parking

Geoff from Rototuna North

“Free” Parking

Submissions close this Sunday 7th May 2017 for the “Free” Parking proposal in Central City.
Do you support subsidizing businesses in the CBD?
The touted $26 is not a flat rate; it is an addition (increase) to Access Hamilton which is calculated on the capital value (CV) of the property. Higher the value the more you pay.
Choice and consequence: those who choose to shop in the central city, the consequences are the availability and cost to park. That is the individual’s choice.
There is no such choice for those who choose (or unable or do not have a car) not to shop in the CBD and the consequence is you still pay (effectively to subsidise businesses in the CBD).
“Free” Parking failed to revitalise or bring people into the CBD in Lower Hutt, Porirua, New Plymouth or Rotorua.
A mobile app is proposed to notify motorists of available parking spaces.
Isn’t using a mobile while driving against the law?
Pay for “Free” Parking in the CBD or not?
