None of these P.G. remodels on Dewey really need street parking anyway. Can’t have it both ways. Either end the permit parking or put meters up.
. . staff members of the California Coastal Commission say the daytime preferential parking accorded to the Dewey Avenue neighborhood violates terms of a 2004 permit that Pacific Grove received to install parking meters along two nearby blocks of Ocean View Boulevard.
The commission imposed the condition with the intent of providing more public parking for visitors to the shoreline. And it set a deadline this year for the city to drop the residents-only parking zone.
Residents of the neighborhood contend they need the parking privilege to prevent their streets from being inundated all day with vehicles belonging to tourists and employees from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and other Cannery Row businesses.
