Please take a minute or two to read the question below and the details behind it, then cast your vote and add your opinion. The results will be announced in Thursday's edition of the WBJ Daily Report. | | THIS WEEK'S QUESTION: | A report from the Worcester Regional Research Bureau recommends the city raise parking rates. The city manages 4,685 parking spaces, and although in fiscal 2015 it generated $3.67 million in revenue, nearly all of it was spent on the expenses of running the parking operations. To fund a centralized division that could theoretically better manage and maintain parking, WRRB recommends raising the parking rates and doing away with special parking rate deals for large organizations. Do you support raising the cost of parking in Worcester? Yes. Those using the facilities should be paying for infrastructure maintenance and improvements.
Yes. The city should not be giving deals to large organizations for downtown parking.
No. We need to encourage businesses to move downtown not push them out with higher rates.
No. Raising prices will discourage people from visiting downtown.
