We have seen the some people <br /> continue to park where thev shouldn't fcr up to 8 hours. They Ignore our pleas <br /> and continue parking where the Customers should have the free 2 hour parking. <br /> We need you help to ticket these people, Again, 4ve merchants know who are <br /> doing this parking abuse. <br /> have been a merchant of downtown h'ila for 22 years, recenfly relocating fo <br /> Kamehameha Ave. We have a chance to make Hilo vibrant, healthy and <br /> charming again and the free parking is one of the keys to this. <br /> ~ Most Sincerely, <br /> Dore------°-1~-.h6-----------~--•---•~- Sally M.
