I wrote to <ucommute...> and <provost...> and received an automated response on how to contest a parking ticket. Does anyone have a better address? I said:
> I urge you to retain free parking at CUH Center for Urban Horticulture aka Union Bay Natural Area. Why are short term users such as birders and walkers being punished?
>
> Is the intent to prevent commuter parking? If so, we are NOT the offenders. We park one to three hours. Paid parking will push us into the neighborhood, and justifiably annoy the neighbors.
>
> What about events at CUH? Will participants also have to pay? Now that will be a lot of cars into the neighborhood.
>
> Does UW need money? If that’s the intent why not charge and issue placards for a limited number of commuter spaces (over 5 hours). Monitor the lot for compliance. Short term under 5 hours would be free. Events would include the fee in their cost and issue passes.
>
> Thank you for your consideration.
