I hape we will continue to have free parking downtown, in fgct fo not oantinue It would be detrimental to our efforts to revitalize Hllo town, This Is important) We must Continue to b©innovative, friendly, competitive and show vibrancy, We a5 merchants are working very hard to make this happen and we need your support We need fo continue free parking and do more fo attract and keep our customers coming to us. The maJor problem I continue to see with the free parking is the abuse by employees and tenants of downtown buildings. We have seen the some people continue to park where thev shouldn't fcr up to 8 hours. They Ignore our pleas and continue parking where the Customers should have the free 2 hour parking. We need you help to ticket these people, Again, 4ve merchants know who are doing this parking abuse. have been a merchant of downtown h'ila for 22 years, recenfly relocating fo Kamehameha Ave. We have a chance to make Hilo vibrant, healthy and charming again and the free parking is one of the keys to this. ~ Most Sincerely, Dore------°-1~-.h6-----------~--•---•~- Sally M.
