Traffic - handwritten, not dated

Have you ever been in a hurry and tryed to find a parking place in down town Salt Lake.  You will more than likely end up blocks away with no time to make that long walk to your destination.

They have have set up a few 12 minute parking meters, but these are mostly ticket catchers, and become rather expensive.

It seems the Chamber of Commerce have had a few ideas, all the way from underground parking to blocking off some streets and double parking down the center.

These changes cost money and that's one thing the State of Utah won't stand for, is spending money to alleviate traffic conditions for the poor tax payers.

During the rush at 5:00 o'clock they set up no left hand turns signs, causing you to travel miles out of your way before you can break out of the congested traffic.

I don't know what could be done to help this situation without spending some money.  The last report put Utah surplus at over one million dollars.  Maybe they need more, but some of that money would go along way in building a over head or under ground parking area.
