A high tech model to
determine how Sinclair and Dyes Inlets get polluted could help get
those waterways cleaner. Read Chris Dunagan’s story, Pollution Study Nears Completion.
So you’re looking to park downtown but you’re not sure you can
limit your visit to two hours. Mercy once was part of the deal,
which was unusual, but I was happy to accept it. Once every 30 days
you could get away with parking over the time allowed.
Not anymore.
We got this story because one of my co-workers got one of the pink
fliers. I can assure you I’ll be more cautious about parking out
front of our building. I’ll probably do it less, which is one of
the benefits to the city of holding the line on the regulations.
Parking is a problem in Poulsbo and Bainbridge, in part because
people figure out how or whether the law is being enforced. On
Bainbridge the issue is ferry commuters and employees parking in
spots reserved for shoppers. Since there was such lax enforcement
there was a lot of non-compliance. The city has tried to step that
up.
In Poulsbo there is supposed to be a two-hour limit in the main lot
downtown, but I never heard of anyone getting ticketed.
In Bremerton, the city does ticket. I’ll gladly walk the extra
couple blocks to avoid the $25 fine.
