[OMS_MANAGERS] downtown parking

[Salem Downtown Partnership]

Hi all,

The City of Salem has a clause in their 2 hour parking ordinance we find annoying.  The clause prevents our customers from parking more than once per day on any block downtown.  Example, if a customer comes downtown in the morning for coffee, and comes back in the afternoon to shop, and happens to park in the same block they used in the morning - they get a ticket. . . .  Needless to say this has been a major problems for our customers who want to support us, but also don't like getting tickets.

Do any of your cities have this ordinance, and what have you done about it?
