Pacific Grove Tries To Attract Homeless With Free Parking
I say they should be allowed to sleep in Parklets overnight too.
The Pacific Grove City Council on Wednesday moved closer to creating a city ordinance allowing homeless people to sleep in their cars at church parking lots and other approved locations.
The city has been “visionary” in its approach to homelessness, said Tia Sukin, founder and director of One Starfish Safe Parking and Supportive Services, which will run the project.
“They’ve also been very aggressive in making sure this gets on their agenda. That’s really nice to see, trying to help people,” she said.
Under the program, homeless people with vehicles will be screened before they are approved to sleep in a designated church or other parking lot.
Is Parking A Real Problem In P.G?
So much that Moe is offering thirty bucks if you get a ticket. What next? Moe should offer free car washes if the gulls poop on your car.
And no matter what the parking enforcement is I see that the 300 block of Fountain remains as all day employee parking.
So why the spike in May then? Police said they started sending officers out part-time more that month — mostly in response to complaints from businesses.
Between the two parking enforcement officers, they usually issue anywhere between four and 600 citations per month — for an average of about 6,000 citations per year.
And if that two-hour window isn’t enough for you to do your dining and shopping and you wind up with a parking ticket, Ammar has a solution.
“What we typically do is offer 30 dollars — the cost of a citation — for dinner or lunch anywhere in downtown Pacific Grove,” he said.
Those offers are made on a case by case basis — with proof of your receipt.

“As long as you don’t park in the red zone or in disabled parking, there is no enforcement during the good old days,” said Moe Ammar, president of the Chamber of Commerce.
There is no parking enforcement anytime downtown.
Remove P.G.’s Parking Spaces?
While some stores loudly complained about the closure of Forest & Lighthouse for the poorly engineered road re-do, others want to take away parking spaces so no one will park and shop.
Where did this kooky idea come from?
“I think the visuals of folks enjoying themselves in the sunshine socializing will be a greater draw,” said Todd Champagne, co-owner of Happy Girl Kitchen.
A Happy Girl
Oh, the place that uses the handicap PARKING SPACE for their deliveries. And what’s up with the folding chairs blocking the other space – is a parade on the way?
Infinite Parking Hours Downtown
And the business district will self police the parking to make sure that shopkeepers and workers don’t take all the spots.
But word has it that there is little to no parking enforcement currently. In a rare moment of news reporting, the Cedar Street Bulletin is reporting that tickets are down and it is said that the parking officer is on temporary assignment.
So park as long as you want!
Business Owners Favor 2 Hour Parking Limits
Parking reserved for Happy Girls and their organic pickles. Don’t recall seeing any handicap plate on that microbus:
The city tried the longer parking time during the holiday season at the urging of downtown merchants who believe time limits were too short and turned away customers and visitors.
“Since then there have been further favorable comments from a variety of downtown businesspersons,” Myers said in a council report. Only one concern about the extended parking times was fielded, she said.
The police chief said the city’s Business Improvement District promised to work with downtown businesses to ensure premium spaces are not used by employees.

Downtown Parking To Be Extended To Two Hours
As businesses try to do anything to get people to spend money in town. Or timing parked cars is not the number one objective of AutoChalk, more like some kind of tracking system to read and log every license plate it sees.
The City of Pacific Grove is responding to numerous complaints that 90 minute parking downtown isn’t enough time to enjoy some lunch, browse the shops, or go to the beach without getting a $35 ticket.
A new pilot program will change the downtown’s 90 minute parking to 2 hour parking from Nov. 7-Jan. 15.
Shoot, I wanna know how to get an all-day parking space like the Victorian Corner workers get.
