CP: Hungry Meters May Invade H Street

The City Paper reports that new parking meters may come to H Street. The multi-space meters would be installed between 12th and 15th, and F and H.

  1. So everyone will park north of H for the free parking? Nice for the Wylie and I street residents.

  2. Are all the off-H-Street blocks surrounding the proposed meter area RPP? Will any meters replace RPP?

    In some of the SE quadrant areas, Ward 6 residents do not have to pay hourly rates. I anticipate (hope, trust, will watch to verify) that this is the case of the residential blocks off of H (IE, F, Maryland... and #'d streets).

    Some form of update would be nice. Alternatively, day-time off-street parking for rent. Bidding starts now!

  4. In Southwest, there are some Zone 6 Parking only areas.

  5. This makes no sense. The proposed area is neither close to a metro station nor has office buildings. What a waste. Who comes up with this stuff?

  6. The guy quoted in the article is a transportation consultant "expert" He is our ANC rep. Like the METRO Board members, he doesn't take the bus but wants to eliminate bus stops,ect; Maybe more people will run for office and not just vote for people because they want a dog park.

    It's not *entirely* clear what you two are bellyaching about. Could you be more specific?

  8. The article is incorrect in stating between H and F. The actual limit requested was between G and I to cover the one block on either side of H Street where residents have expressed concern for the last few years they were being overparked at night by visitors to the H Street entertainment district.

    For the anonymous person who is under the impression I don't like metro and seek to eliminate bus stops, that is a false impression. Feel free to contact me if you would like further clarification.

Guys, please be polite. Remember that these people are your neighbors. I ask also that anonymous users leave some kind of tag [e.g. big green cat] for the sake of being able to follow a thread. Be respectful and have fun.
