How does one blink when there is no “vision”??

At Capitol Terrace, CCDC arbitrarily does away with the 1st hour free AND jacks the hourly rate to $2.50.

Tony Soprano never had it so good.

Justice and public service do not seem to be priorities for this “public” agency.

The CCDC produces and oversees (Max Clark) user unfriendly (BoDo, City Center) garages with all the appeal of Hitler’s Bunker (Capitol Terrace), contract-managed by a private out of state firm (Republic Parking Northwest).

And then, the question always begs to be asked: How come literally everyone (St. Luke’s, St. Al’s, BSU…) BUT the CCDC manages to build aesthetically pleasing, spacious parking garages with security features like emergency call boxes?

It’s time to thank the CCDC for its service, disband it (absorbing its functions into existing city agencies), and turn its parking facilities over to Stu & Crew @ Boise City Parking Services.

Without the first hour free, the result to the public is the same either way – no break for them. A ten minute grace period (if it even exists) is insulting since you can’t do anything in the ten minutes allowed other than go into the lot, say oops, I don’t mean to be here and then drive back out.

We are required to go to the Courthouse to perform certain functions we can’t do elsewhere. There should be an hour free parking. The County should continue to pay the $18,000 and the CCDC should accept that all the while both sides moving towards an acceptable solution to the PUBLIC’s needs.
