Parking no longer free on Saturdays in MoCo lots starting 7/8/23

[Anonymous]

The council is so good at figuring out new ways to take our money! This is on top of recently raising property tax rates and the recordation tax, of course.

"On or about July 8, 2023, Saturday payment will be required in garages and lots. Rates and hours requiring payment will be the same as the rest of the week."

If you don't want to pay for parking, then don't park in the garage or lot. Problem solved.

Maybe they’ll use the money to police carjacking 😉.

Are you just posting the same cliche in every thread?

The only progressive nature in MoCo is to get progressively worse.

Don’t you have anything better to do?

You want to be able to store your private car for free on public property? That sounds like socialism.

That’s a big change to go from free all day to charging the same as any other day of the week. There’s no option in between, like reduced rates or a flat fee or only during peak hours?

This is what’s going to happen. Already struggling businesses won’t get the weekend bump in business because people don’t want to pay for parking. I won’t go to Rockville Towne center because I have to pay so I’ll go to a different shopping center with the same stores. There are thousands of people like me.

I love our county and our resources, but I also feel that funds are mismanaged, and then they come back again and again with new fees and new taxes to make up for their mismanagement.

I can see it now, soon will be paying for parking at the county libraries, health centers, and even county parks.
