    Well, the city should be able to pay for it, since they charge $25 a parking ticket...oh let me guess, now they'll probably raise that too! How is it police can write you a $10 fix-it ticket for a violation on your car for something broken but the city can write a $25 parking ticket. to someone who has never gotten a ticket before and who is a student at RCC and pays everyday for an automated receipt to park closer to school. I ask for a parking permit but am told all of them are taken for parking near school. I look over in the parking lot across from the library and there are lots of spaces to park but I have to pay by the automated machine IN the parking lot each day and pay close to $7 dollars a day (that's including my credit card fee), just doesn't seem right! Students should be getting a break since you make a lot of money off of them everyday! Just a thought...I'm sure you've heard it all before and I can't only hope you keep hearing about it too.

    Just make more one-way streets and maybe there will be less people going downtown. I rarely go downtown because of the one-way streets. They are confusing and create a hazardous distraction every time you want to make a turn. You divert too much of your attention looking up in the air for "one-way" signs, so that you don't make an error and turn the wrong way onto one of them. I suppose they are good for driving citations.
