Austin city Council is planning on extending paid parking at downtown curb sides. The city Transportation Department has recommended extending parking meter hours citywide, currently 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, to 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Additionally, the department suggested extending the Monday through Saturday hours downtown (an area roughly bounded by Cesar Chavez Street, North Lamar Boulevard, 10th Street and Interstate 35) to midnight.
This will affect volunteers who come downtown and help struggling non-profits such as the Paramount Theatre. We urge City Council to reject this proposal for extending curb side parking fee hours. Please sign this petition below. Your email will not be used for any purpose other than preventing duplicates on the petition. THANK YOU!
The City Council thinks they can squeeze every cent out of our pockets while we try to support local institutions. We are almost at 250 signatures so send this link to your coworkers right now. We have to hit this target before they ignore our opposition completely.

I work at a local nonprofit and this is ridiculous. We already give up our free time to help out now we have to pay just to park our cars to do it??

Leave the hours alone. Downtown is already a mess to navigate as it is.

My family loves the Paramount but this makes it so hard to justify going down there. Please dont pass this.

This is just another way to squeeze money out of us. Austin is getting way too expensive and they wonder why nobody wants to go downtown anymore.

TOTAL BS. Stop trying to tax everyone for just existing in the city. Nobody goes out specifically to pay for parking.
