Parking prices were out of hand before it went up almost 200%. What was once $2 for 2 hours of parking is now $3.45. For those of us that have to use city parking for work, it’s now more worth it to get an $11 parking ticket than it is to pay for the full 8 hour shift of parking at $3.45 x 4 for $14. What sense does this make?

Often times what ends up happening since it’s a 2 hour limit, is we will pay for 2-4 hours of parking. Forget to pay again and then you’ve paid $7 + an $11 parking ticket. It’s silly and abusive of Chattanooga citizens who are having to pay to park to get to their jobs. No one should have to spend $20 a day to park for work.
