[Tweeters] Latest on parking fees at Montlake Fill

[Constance Sidles via Tweeters]

Hey tweets, I just heard of a partial reversal of parking fees at the Montlake Fill parking lot. Here is an email from Mark Huppert, interim director of the UW's transportation services:

I have reviewed [the comments] on the proposed changes to the parking fee at UW's Parking Lot E16 by the Center for Urban Horticulture and Union Bay Natural Area.
 
During the 30-day comment period which closed last week, 118 of the 120 public comments we received on our campus parking rate proposal were in opposition to the $5/day fee at E16. There were some excellent suggestions from community members of how UW can meet the needs of the community while also balancing our need for financial sustainability and compliance under our transportation management plan. As a result, we will be advancing a revised proposal to the Board of Regents that provides 2-hours of free parking for E16 to allow continued community and volunteer access to the Urban Bay Natural Area, Center for Urban Horticulture, Miller Library, and UW Farm. Beyond the 2-hour limit, parking will be $5/day. All vehicles will be required to register their license plate at a new kiosk to be placed on site at E16 or by using the Pay-By-Phone application. We hope that this hybrid registration approach satisfies the technology fears of the many retirees who provided public comment as well as your concerns about neighborhood parking.
 
Thank you for your sharing your concerns and being an active contributor in the public process.

Regards,


Mark Huppert
