It remains to be seen if the changes to the parking garage are a good idea.
So far, almost every time I enter or leave the garage, there is a car in front of me that is having trouble figuring it out. So far, the city has an employee at the entrance to help.
Their hope, apparently, is that when enough regular users have gotten used to the process that they won't need someone there.
This doesn't take into account that at certain times of the year we have more tourists than locals shopping downtown--by probably a significant margin. Those people are always going to have trouble because the parking rules are anything but intuitive.
Meanwhile, the garage is full of cars, so it must be working at least for that.
I suspect they are going to have to make changes. Getting a ticket at the entrance, then having to find a small chamber at the opposite end of the garage to change for an exit ticket, and then using the exit ticket to get out. Well, that is always going to a hard thing to figure out. (Signage? you say? No one reads signage...:)
