The problems with parking at Boise State are legend. folks come very early and park in the neighborhoods and cause havoc with locals land owners. According to this article The local enforcement folks are changing rules and putting up signs. But to no avail.
I know my solution — and so do you. Charge for onstreet parking during games. Have someone out there with an apron and charge $10 bucks for a space, or $15, or $20. If you have a permit, you can park, and if you don’t you get towed. Put the money back in to the local parks and rec budget and provide more parking for the local recreation areas. I assume there is parking on campus and there’s not enough. So charge for that, too. Charge Charge Charge. Keep raising the rates until car pooling seems a reasonable alternative or that shuttles in from those lots outside of town look more attractive.
This is a no brainer, Boise. People come for the game and to see the 19th ranked Broncos demolish their latest victim. They don’t come to park. And they are willing (after a few complaints) to pay for that parking.
Nuff Said.
