Reply to comment by bmore in Parklet fee: Restaurants, bars weigh future of outdoor structures by GovernorOfReddit

I park in front of my house, so zero time there. Maybe a couple minutes tops on the other end; if we're getting fancy (a couple times/yr) I'll valet it. It's rare that I spend much time hunting for parking.

So it sounds like the parklets don't negatively affect you at all.

I’ve been places where they’re more obtrusive - Mount Washington comes to mind. But not generally, no, they don’t impact me much. That said, I think it’s entirely appropriate for the city to charge for the spaces. Whether the amount given in the article is optimal, I don’t have an opinion.

If a park let charge exceeds the maximum revenue a parking meter would accrue daily, it's excessive.

Even better would be the same amount charged for residential parking permits.
