He commutes by bus and bike every day to work. While the city pays for about 20% of his bus pass, the city pays 100% of parking for all city employees who drive to work. He told me of co-workers who live on the light rail line who drive four blocks to work. It's ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>At his previous job, he architected the removal of free parking privileges for city employees and became Public Enemy #1. He's working on the doing the same at his current job.<BR/><BR/>It's good you're getting the dialog going in your location.Yokota Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.com
