They made this clear last night at the meeting in the town hall where the parking policy was discussed. The public gallery was so full that people had to stand at the back of the room. Those who had registered as speakers did not perform their words.
Green wet dream
“Residents are not getting rid of their cars, so this whole parking policy is pointless. Stop this green wet dream and bullying car owners,” said one of them. He claims that the parking permit would be free. “And that’s just the question.”
No one in the room wants to pay(more) for parking, but they also don’t like the way of communication. “When it comes to bat research, you get a personal letter in the mail. But in cases where it affects the residents a lot, such as parking, there is no letter anywhere. Then you must read it in the weekly magazine. “
In addition, there are still concerns about the outcome for entrepreneurs. “It’s not considered that customers will stay away if they have to pay a lot for parking. The entrepreneurs are suffering as a result and I don’t think that’s the intention this policy.”
Still lower rates?
Several political parties accept the parking plans, but another group indicated last night that they want things to be different. There has been a lot of criticism before the proposed parking rate is reduced at the Middenwaard shopping center and the Stationskwartier: not 2.20 per hour but one euro per hour, instead of 0.30 cents now.
They are now also proposing something like this with the parking permit by charging ‘only’ 100 euros for a second or third permit (the first permit is now free, right .). Other parties want to cut an increase rate per license. Next Tuesday the city council will decide on the parking policy.
