I am mystified why you would jump ahead with the pay parking you intend to implement in the tourist user parking lot?
What are your goals?
What problems are you trying to solve?
Who will manage it?
How much will it cost?
Will locals be exempt?
In most locations, people will just park somewhere else nearby. I am a senior who walks my dog several times a day. I’m also an active birder. I am one of many who frequents all the potential pay parking locations mentioned.
I pay a large amount of property taxes, and I will resent having to pay for parking. One option for me as a senior is just stop paying my property taxes.
