The system is broken - and we can fix it...

The city of Wilmington is in the process of becoming a truly awesome city - a place where entrepreneurs, artists, educators, and businesses create incredible things.

Since October of 2011, the citizens, business community, arts community, Wilmington City Officials, and others have been engaged in improving the parking and parking enforcement issues in the city of Wilmington.

Huge progress has been made and the direction we are going as a community is extremely positive!

This blog chronicles the efforts of all who helped make this happen...

The WHYY Newsworks story...

WHYY's Newsworks has a story on the Wilmington Parking ticket issues, here's an excerpt:


"Every city in the country has multiple sources of revenue, as does our city, parking being just one of about 30 sources." said Mayor Baker's Chief of Staff Bill Montgomery. "Do we track every revenue source and have some benchmarks for them, sure... it is simply not a quota."
Still, Montgomery says the city is already taking steps to address some of the grievances aired on Grant's blog and expressed through the PSA's. Montgomery says, for starters, city staffers are walking every block in the downtown area looking for confusing or missing signs. Additionally, he says Finance Department staff are working on a parking Frequently Asked Questions section for the city's website and facebook page. Simultaneously, Montgomery says the Civil Appeals Division is reviewing the appeals process.
