    Letter to The Editor: Approved Parking Meters Uptown

    logo_lettereditorDear Sir, 

    Parking meters in Uptown Sedona is a step in the right direction.

    We understand the city is short on funds. However, with the revenue from the new meters, the city will have the necessary funding to take positive action to speed up traffic flow.

    Study after study shows traffic meters help local merchants and traffic flow; offering people a place to park and shop.

    Uptown belongs to all of us, and the city requires money to carry out the remainder of its parking plans.

    In the last few years Sedona has purchased or leased new free parking spaces around Uptown. Now is the time to install meters, approved by city council many years ago.

    Please, everyone take a few minutes and read The High Cost Of Free Parking  Author: Donald C. Shoup and go on line and look up the tragedy of the commons to better understand parking and sharing common areas.

    Great first step!

    Other tourist cities that have parking meters:

    Park City, Durango, Flagstaff, Aspen, Telluride and thousands more.

     Thank you for your time,

    Steve Segner

      When you turn the tourists, you increase the revenue. Just like turning a table on a restaurant.


    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
