EASY SOLUTION LESS BUILDINGS EQUALS MORE PARKING SPACES.

Parking in this city sucks. Period.

All the public input did nothing ! Heather Richards does what she wants. She learned it from Tina Kotek play book. I recommend everybody park at the Grain Station because Kelly McDonald is part of this mess. Then when that’s full then park at the Golden Valley Brewpub.Peter also has input on this and is part of this garbage RB Rubber project. I can’t wait to see all those no parking signs go up. If I can’t park, I won’t spend my money at either place. Oh well.

Ron, I’m pretty sure Heather, ex-mayor Drabkin, McDononald, and Gowell must have been planning for the Alpine to deliver a city first - a drone transportation system where only one parking spot is needed per fifty residents, employees, customers! That is the only rational explanation possible because as the NR aerial picture shows, there are currently zero off-street parking spaces available at McMarket, the two new “boutique” hotels, or other businesses already lining Alpine!

This project is the litmus test for me on the current city administration. It seems that the cost of improvements to surrounding infrastructures is ten to twenty times any future financial returns of taxpayer money. Those businesses should be responsible for supplying their own damn parking needs. And the street lights or roundabouts needed on Lafayette Avenue to avoid it going into gridlock daily at rush hours.

Ron

Exactly right Bob. I have committed many times. Heather Richard is a problem for the city of McMinnville with her gang that you mentioned.She helped ruin Bend Oregon, and now she’s taking McMinnville down. The home of more apartments per square mile than probably town with the same population. Projects with no parking the nightmare for the residence and city folks and a great big win for the greedy developers. Heather Richards is probably getting paid off.
