Opinion: New meters downtown causing a problem for residents

The following was submitted to use from a reader:

“We live downtown, and for the last year we have depended on free street parking for one of our cars as our building only gives one parking pass per apartment. They recently put meters on our street (South Water St. between our building and the YMCA), and it has been making living downtown much more difficult. We have already gotten a few tickets. We were planning on living downtown for a few more years, but this parking situation makes me think we will not be staying here quite as long as I’d hoped.”
