Parking passes for local workers
I’m a barista in downtown Northampton and am starting to get fed up with the amount of parking tickets I’ve received for being 5 minutes late to my car after my shift. Has anyone ever talked to the city about parking passes that businesses can buy for their workers?
I’m ready to start a petition if not. It’s unfair that I am bringing money to the local economy from working at a local business and also giving an absurd amount in parking tickets. And I have a feeling it may get worse with picture Main Street. A lot of the service industry workers in downtown don’t even live in Northampton because of the cost of living, so before anyone comes at me for not being particularly psyched about picture Main Street, let’s remember that people living paycheck to paycheck don’t have the time to bike to work from another town.
Anyways feeling frustrated!!
