#parking — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #parking, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Le #RN précise qu'il ne veut pas amplifier la présence de la #voiture. Il n'a pas les moyens de faire des #TC #gratuits, sauf pour kes supporters qui vont au stade, et le plus gros problème c'est les agressions : donc une brigade.

    Idem pour les pistes cyclables. Et des stationnements vélo sécurisés.

    Il faut démanteler le projet esplanade, et faire un #parking végétalisé. Parce que même s'il n'y a que 35% des clients qui viennent voiture, on va tous les supprimer sinon.

  2. #Parking in #Regina, part 3...

    I submitted a "service request" about paying for #parking meters downtown, because they're going "app-only", and I have no mobile phone.

    I got a #contemptuous email telling me I'd said I was "not comfortable with technology". Fuck you, I'm a software engineer of nearly 3 decades. I responded to say a) I didn't say I wasn't comfortable with tech, and b) it was insulting.

    So I got a second reply today, including this fantastic line:

    > We apologize for the stress caused to you due to the transition of paying
    > for the parking #meters.

    Somebody at City Hall is feeling awfully passive-aggressive.

    Then, today, I got a phone call. This person tried to convince me that this isn't a problem for me, and tried to offer "solutions" which I had already explained were not applicable in my original request:

    1. Park off-street in a private lot. No: it's more expensive, I have no income, and the nearest ones are multiple blocks away from where I need to go. Not practical for someone with #mobility issues, and there are lots of us out here.

    2. Buy a special "park for free at meters" pass. Cost: $1040 plus taxes. This is a giant "up yours" suggestion.

    3. JK, there are no other solutions.

    So I said, "Is it the city's official position that I'm #screwed and can't park downtown to receive medical treatments?" and she said yes.

    I'm fucking tired of #bureaucrats making decisions without caring how it affects #residents.

  3. So, as I mentioned in a separate thread earlier today, my city (Hi, #Regina !) has announced that you won't be able to use coins/cash to pay at parking meters for onstreet #parking, starting ... this Sunday.

    The three options they give for paying will now be:

    1) A smartphone app.
    2) The smartphone app maker's website.
    3) A phone call to the smartphone app maker's telephone service.

    All three obviously require a mobile phone and phone plan. The first 2 require a "smartphone" and data plan.

    Some of us don't have a mobile #phone. So we're #screwed. And everyone else is also screwed, too, because all 3 of the above options go to the same #company, which is owned by the #Corpay company, based out of Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

    So the #municipal #government is saying "You have to give your personal information, including *your current location*, to an #American company".

    Brilliant, no notes. Perfect timing what with the #USA going full-fascist, too.
