Two comments:
1. Parking ramps are very expensive. I can't recall ever seeing one in a
city the size of Winona. Has anyone seen what I have not? La Crosse and
Rochester are cities 2-3 times our size with many more resources.
2. When I'm downtown during business hours I see the large city lot on the
tracks between Main and Center less than 1/2 full. One has to wonder how
many business owners, managers and employees insist on parking near where
they work instead of leaving those spots for customers? I have personally
heard downtown workers comment on going out to move their vehicles in spots
directly outside their place of employment to avoid tickets. I have to
wonder how much of the "parking problem" downtown has more to do with human
nature than adequate parking.
