Submission
Do you think the zone has been assigned correctly?
No
What change to the zone would you recommend?
I would not make Sunday paid whatsoever. Every other day of the week is charged with over-inflated prices, so there should be no reason to force residents to be charged even more money on a non-business day.
Do you think the hours of enforcement are appropriate?
No
What change to the hours you would recommend?
Sundays 9am to 6pm free.
Are there other changes to restrictions in this area that you think should be considered in the future?
Yes
What changes to the restrictions would you recommend?
I believe it would be appropriate to reduce or cancel costs to Saturday parking as it would help boost weekend economy with a desire to utilise cheaper or free parking. I believe parking prices should also be re-evaluated as $3.50 an hour is unnecessarily high.
These prices and hours seem especially harsh when considering cities such as Christchurch that have innovative and acceptable pricing, i.e, Free parking at malls.
Do you have any other comments about the planned zone for Sunday paid parking?
I work both weekend days and the only reason I even drive is because the parking is free on Sundays. I cannot afford to be constantly paying for overpriced parking every day of the week, and switching to bussing or walking is not as feasible.
